PER CURIAM:

       Christopher O’Berry pled guilty, pursuant to a written plea agreement, to theft of

government property in excess of $1000 in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 641 (2012). O’Berry

was sentenced to 27 months’ imprisonment and 3 years of supervised release and ordered

to pay restitution of $1,039,981.75. On appeal, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to

Anders v. California, 

(1967), stating that there are no meritorious grounds

for appeal but questioning whether the district court erred in calculating his sentence by

applying a loss amount of $1,039,981.75, which increased his offense level by 14, U.S.

Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2B1.1(b)(1)(H) (2016). Despite notice, O’Berry has not

filed a pro se supplemental brief. The Government has declined to file a brief. Finding

no error, we affirm.

       In the district court, O’Berry raised and then withdrew an objection to the

presentence report’s calculation of loss amount, and thus he has waived review of this

issue. See United States v. Robinson, 

, 298 (4th Cir. 2014) (“[W]hen a claim

is waived, it is not reviewable on appeal, even for plain error.”). As to the reasonableness

of his sentence, because O’Berry did not object to his sentence below, our review is for

plain error. United States v. Aplicano-Oyuela, 

, 422 (4th Cir. 2015). We

review a sentence for procedural and substantive reasonableness under a deferential

abuse of discretion standard. Gall v. United States, 

, 51 (2007); United States

v. Berry, 

, 194-95 (4th Cir. 2016). In determining whether a sentence is

procedurally reasonable, we consider whether the district court properly calculated the

defendant’s advisory Sentencing Guidelines range, gave the parties an opportunity to

                                             2
argue for an appropriate sentence, considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2012) factors,

selected a sentence based on facts that were not clearly erroneous, and sufficiently

explained the selected sentence. 

. Only after concluding that a

sentence is procedurally reasonable will we consider its substantive reasonableness,

“tak[ing] into account the totality of the circumstances.” 

that is within

or below a properly calculated Guidelines range is presumptively [substantively]

reasonable. Such a presumption can only be rebutted by showing that the sentence is

unreasonable when measured against the . . . § 3553(a) factors.”         United States v.

Louthian, 

, 306 (4th Cir. 2014) (citation omitted).

       Our review of the record reveals that O’Berry’s sentence is reasonable. The

district court properly calculated O’Berry’s Guidelines range as 30-37 months based on a

total offense level of 17 and criminal history category III (4 criminal history points),

granted O’Berry’s motion for a downward variance by lowering his criminal history

category to II, and sentenced him below the advisory Guidelines range and the applicable

statutory maximum. The court considered the parties’ arguments in sentencing O’Berry

and articulated a reasoned basis for O’Berry’s sentence grounded in the § 3553(a) factors.

O’Berry fails to rebut the presumption of reasonableness accorded his below-Guidelines-

range sentence.

       In accordance with Anders we have reviewed the record in this case and have

found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore affirm the district court’s amended

judgment. This court requires that counsel inform O’Berry in writing, of the right to

petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If O’Berry requests

                                            3
that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then

counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s

motion must state that a copy thereof was served on O’Berry.

       We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.
