PER CURIAM.

      Jose Vazquez-Pacheco directly appeals after he pled guilty to illegally
reentering the United States, and the district court1 sentenced him within his

      1
      The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Northern District of Iowa.
calculated Guidelines range to 16 months in prison. His counsel has filed a brief
under Anders v. California, 
386 U.S. 738
(1967), arguing that the district court
imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence. Counsel has also moved to
withdraw.

      Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 
572 F.3d 455
,
461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); see also Gall v. United States, 
552 U.S. 38
, 51
(2007). In addition, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson
v. Ohio, 
488 U.S. 75
(1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant
counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
