methamphetamine. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a
brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967).
As to counsel’s arguments, we find no error in the district court’s determination
of the drug quantity attributable to Guerrero, and no other issues warranting relief.
See United States v. Turner,
781 F.3d 374, 393 (8th Cir. 2015) (this court reviews
district court’s application of Guidelines de novo, and its findings of fact for clear
error); United States v. Young,
689 F.3d 941, 945 (8th Cir. 2012) (in drug conspiracy
case, attributable drug quantity includes quantities attributable directly to defendant
as well as quantities attributable to reasonably foreseeable actions of others taken to
further conspiracy). In addition, we have independently reviewed the record under
Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for
appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the
judgment.
