PER CURIAM.
Cordell Cole appeals a sentence imposed by the district court* after Cole
pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed
*The Honorable John A. Jarvey, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa, now retired.

-- 1 of 2 --

a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
reasonableness of the sentence.
Upon careful review, we conclude that Cole’s sentence was not unreasonable,
as there is no indication that the district court overlooked a relevant factor, gave
significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of
judgment in weighing the relevant factors. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d
455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc).
We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we
affirm, and we grant counsel’s motions to withdraw.
