Before ARNOLD, BOWMAN, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Carl Thomas Whipple appeals the 240-month sentence the district court1
imposed following this court’s remand for resentencing under United States v.
Booker, 

(2005). Counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under
Anders v. California, 

(1967), arguing the district court should have
further reduced Mr. Whipple’s sentence because of his age and deteriorating physical
condition. We find the 18% downward variance from the bottom of the advisory
Guidelines range of 292-365 months was not unreasonable. See United States v.

      1
        The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
Bryant, 

, 1319 (8th Cir. 2006) (when there is no dispute about
applicable Guidelines range, appeals court considers whether sentence imposed is
reasonable in light of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). After our review of the record
pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 

, 80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the sentence.
                        ______________________________
