counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), suggesting that the sentence is substantively unreasonable.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Mangum, 625 F.3d 466, 470 (8th Cir.
2010) (upward variance is reasonable where court makes individualized assessment
of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors based on facts presented, and considers defendant’s
proffered information). Further, having independently reviewed the record under
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the
judgment of the district court.
