PER CURIAM.
Tracy Bess appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after she pleaded
guilty to conspiring to commit mail theft. Her counsel filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1976), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.
1The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Southern District of Iowa.

After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Bess. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (standard of review). Having independently reviewed the record
under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we affirm.
