PER CURIAM.

      In this direct criminal appeal, Cody Malone challenges the thirty-year prison
sentence that the District Court1 imposed after Malone pleaded guilty to inducing a

      1
      The Honorable Jimm Larry Hendren, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Arkansas.
minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual
depiction of such conduct. Malone’s counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed
a brief under Anders v. California, 

 (1967), arguing that the thirty-year
sentence is unreasonable. Malone has filed a supplemental pro se brief asserting
essentially the same argument.

      Upon careful review, we conclude that the District Court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Gall, 

, 51 (2007) (describing
appellate review of sentences under the deferential abuse-of-discretion standard and
noting that if a sentence is within the Guidelines range, the appellate court may apply
a presumption of reasonableness); see also United States v. Werlein, 

,
1145-47 (8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (affirming the imposition of a thirty-year
sentence when the defendant pleaded guilty to producing child pornography and
admitted “that he had used online profiles to befriend . . . adolescent girls, had
engaged in sexual conduct with them, and had downloaded onto his computer
sexually explicit pictures of them”).

      We have reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 

, 80 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm
Malone’s sentence, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
