The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
robbery, and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. His counsel
has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), discussing the procedural and substantive reasonableness of the
sentence.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a
procedurally or substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster,
572 F.3d 455, 460-61 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (reviewing sentence under deferential
abuse-of-discretion standard; discussing procedural and substantive reasonableness);
see also United States v. Callaway,
762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014)
(within-Guidelines-range sentence is presumed reasonable). In addition, we have
independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988), and
have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s
motion to withdraw and affirm.
