PER CURIAM.
George Marino appeals the district court’s1 judgment entered upon his guilty
plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm. His counsel has moved to withdraw,
1The Honorable James M. Moody Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.

and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
district court’s conclusion that he was an armed career criminal and subsequent
imposition of an enhanced sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e).
Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court correctly sentenced
Marino as an armed career criminal based on his prior convictions as outlined in the
presentence report. See United States v. Myers, 928 F.3d 763, 765-67 (8th Cir.
2019).
We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous appellate issues. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
