Patrick Colvin appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded
guilty to a firearm offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief
1The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Judge for the Northern
District of Iowa.

under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in sentencing Colvin, as there was no indication that it overlooked a
relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in
weighing relevant factors, see United States v. Salazar-Aleman, 741 F.3d 878, 881
(8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); and the sentence was within the Guidelines
range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014).
Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion and affirm.
