withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
suggesting that the district court abused its discretion in declining to sentence
Robinson to a prison term below the advisory Guidelines range.
Upon careful review, this court concludes that the district court did not abuse
its discretion in sentencing Robinson. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455,
460-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (describing appellate review of sentencing
decisions). This court independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988), and found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Counsel’s motion
to withdraw is granted, and the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
