                                 ____________

Before LOKEN, BYE, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       After Gladis Maldonado pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy offense, the
district court1 varied downward from the advisory Guidelines range and sentenced her

      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
to serve 144 months in prison and 5 years of supervised release. On appeal,
Maldonado’s counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 

(1967), arguing that the sentence is greater than necessary
to accomplish the goals of sentencing.

      Applying a presumption of reasonableness to the sentence, which fell well
below the uncontested Guidelines range, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion. See United States v. Feemster, 

, 461 (8th Cir. 2009)
(en banc) (standard of review). Further, having independently reviewed the record
under Penson v. Ohio, 

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