PER CURIAM.
Jorge Magana-Suarez (Magana) appeals the 30-month sentence the district
1
court imposed upon his guilty plea to illegal re-entry after deportation in violation of
8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Magana’s counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under
Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), questioning the reasonableness of the
sentence (which was at the top of the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range) in light
of Magana’s cultural assimilation.

The Honorable Ronald E. Longstaff, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Southern District of Iowa.
We conclude the sentence is not unreasonable. See United States v. Haack,
403
F.3d 997, 1004 (8th Cir.) (standard of review), cert. denied,
126 S. Ct. 276 (2005).
The district court calculated the Guidelines imprisonment range and took that range
into account, along with other 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and Magana’s cultural-
assimilation argument, in determining the sentence. See United States v. Booker,
543
U.S. 220, 260-62 (2005) (§ 3553(a) factors will guide reasonableness review).
Having reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we
find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and
we affirm.
