PER CURIAM.
Richard Robinson appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he
plead guilty to a firearm offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed
1The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.

-- 1 of 2 --

a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in sentencing Robinson, as there was no indication that it overlooked a
relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in
weighing relevant factors, see United States v. Salazar-Aleman, 741 F.3d 878, 881
(8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); and the sentence was within the United States
Sentencing Guidelines Manual range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754,
760 (8th Cir. 2014) (“A sentence which falls within the guideline range is presumed
to be reasonable[.]”). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record under
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we affirm and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
