counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the sentence as substantively
unreasonable. Upon careful review, we conclude that Mackie’s sentence, which was
imposed within his Sentencing Guidelines range, is not substantively unreasonable.
See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc)
(discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions; if sentence is within Guidelines
range, appellate court may, but is not required to, apply presumption of
reasonableness).
Having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75
(1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
