PER CURIAM.
Columbus White appeals the sentence the district court 1 imposed after he
pleaded guilty to a felon-in-possession offense. His counsel seeks leave to withdraw

the Western District of Arkansas.

and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the
sentence is substantively unreasonable.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the within-Guidelines-range sentence
is not substantively unreasonable. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007)
(if sentence is within Guidelines range, appellate court may apply presumption of
reasonableness); United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en
banc) (appellate review of sentencing decision). Further, having independently
reviewed the record in accordance with Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we
find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
The judgment is affirmed.
