Casey Lindus directly appeals after he pleaded guilty to a felon-in-possession

calculated Guidelines range. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has
filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
reasonableness of Lindus’s sentence.
Our review of the sentencing proceedings satisfies us that the district court did
not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster,
572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (sentences are reviewed under
deferential abuse-of-discretion standard; discussing substantive reasonableness); see
also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-
Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable). In addition, having
independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988),
we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
There having been no response by counsel to the certification requested by the
court’s July 28, 2018, order, his motion for leave to withdraw is denied.
