PER CURIAM.
Zackery Jones directly appeals after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense and the
district court1 sentenced him to a within-Guidelines prison term. His counsel has

Southern District of Iowa.
moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California,
386
U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the sentence.
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) (substantive reasonableness is reviewed for abuse
of discretion); see also United States v. Callaway,
762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014)
(on appeal, within-Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable). The
record establishes that the district court adequately considered the sentencing factors
listed in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Wohlman,
651 F.3d 878, 887 (8th
Cir. 2011) (court need not mechanically recite § 3553(a) factors, so long as it is clear
from record that court actually considered them in determining sentence).
We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,
488
U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
