Rodney Hall appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pled
guilty to drug and firearm offenses. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and

has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1976), challenging the
substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Hall. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d
754, 760-61 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming sentence reasonable if within United States
Sentencing Guidelines Manual range). Further, having independently reviewed the
record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for
appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw and affirm.
