Before WOLLMAN, RILEY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       J. Jesus Tello-Martinez appeals the 77-month prison sentence the district court1
imposed after he pleaded guilty to being an alien found unlawfully present in the
United States after having been previously removed, in violation of 8 U.S.C.
§ 1326(a), (b)(2). His counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders
v. California, 
386 U.S. 738
(1967), arguing that the sentence is unreasonable.




      1
       The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., Chief Judge, United States District
Court for the Western District of Missouri.
      We conclude that the within-Guidelines-range sentence is not unreasonable,
because nothing in the record indicates the district court overlooked a relevant factor,
gave significant weight to an improper factor, or made a clear error of judgment in
weighing appropriate factors. See Rita v. United States, 
127 S. Ct. 2456
, 2462-68
(2007) (allowing appellate presumption of reasonableness); United States v. Haack,
403 F.3d 997
, 1003-04 (8th Cir. 2005) (reasonableness factors).

      After reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 
488 U.S. 75
,
80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to
withdraw, and we affirm the district court’s judgment.
                      ______________________________
