prison, the low end of the calculated United States Sentencing Guidelines range. His
counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), questioning the substantive reasonableness of Traxler’s sentence.
After careful review, we conclude that the District Court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51
(2007) (explaining that the substantive reasonableness of a sentence should be
reviewed for an abuse of discretion and noting that “[i]f the sentence is within the
Guidelines range, the appellate court may . . . apply a presumption of
reasonableness”). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
We affirm the District Court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
