filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Horgdal. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d
754, 760-61 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming reasonable sentences within United States
Sentencing Guidelines Manual range). Further, having independently reviewed the
record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for
appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw and affirm.
