Tony Evans appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pled
guilty to drug offenses. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief
1The Honorable John A. Ross, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.

under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of his 130-month term of imprisonment.
After careful review, we conclude that the term of imprisonment is not
substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Lozoya, 623 F.3d 624, 625 (8th Cir.
2010) (standard of review). 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 when it imposed the prison term. See United
States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Additionally, the
130-month term is within the Guidelines range, and therefore presumptively
reasonable. See United States v. Foard, 108 F.4th 729, 738 (8th Cir. 2024).
We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment, and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
