PER CURIAM.
Thomas Charles Mart appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he

1291, this court affirms.
1 The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Judge for the Northern
District of Iowa.

Counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that Mart’s sentence is unreasonable. The district court
did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Mart. The court properly considered the
factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and there is no indication that it overlooked
a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or
committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors. See United States
v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Further, the court
imposed the statutory minimum sentence. See United States v. Woods, 717 F.3d
654, 659 (8th Cir. 2013).
This court has independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), and finds no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
