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

PER CURIAM.

     Antonio Ventura-Fuentes directly appeals the downward-departure sentence
imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense. On appeal,

      1
       The Honorable D.P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
counsel for Ventura-Fuentes seeks to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 
386 U.S. 738
(1967), arguing that the sentence is unreasonable. Upon
careful review, we conclude that Ventura-Fuentes’s sentence is not unreasonable. See
United States v. Burns, 
577 F.3d 887
, 894-896 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (appellate
review of departure sentence). Having reviewed the record independently under
Penson v. Ohio, 
488 U.S. 75
, 80 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues. Therefore,
we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
                       ______________________________
