counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
Upon careful review, we conclude the sentence was not substantively
unreasonable, as the district court properly considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors
including Reuter’s mitigating factors, did not overlook a relevant factor, or commit
a clear error of judgment in weighing the relevant factors, see United States v.
Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); and the court imposed a prison
term within the Guidelines range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760
(8th Cir. 2014). We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v.
Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
