sentence. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging Vazquez’s sentence on substantive and
procedural grounds. We have carefully reviewed the district court’s sentencing
decision and find no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d
455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Moreover, we have independently reviewed the
record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and conclude there are no
nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, and we grant counsel’s
motion to withdraw.
