United States v. Fermin Jaimes-Enriquez

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 09-2211 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Southern District of Iowa. Fermin Jaimes-Enriquez, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: January 7, 2010 Filed: January 12, 2010 ___________ Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Fermin Jaimes-Enriquez appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence imposed by the district court1 upon his guilty plea to illegally re-entering the United States after having been deported following an aggravated felony, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2). On appeal, his counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence was unreasonable. 1 The Honorable James E. Gritzner, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. Having carefully reviewed the record and the sentence, see United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (deferential abuse-of-discretion standard of review), we conclude that the sentence is not unreasonable, see Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 347-50 (2007) (presumption of reasonableness); United States v. Cadenas, 445 F.3d 1091, 1094 (8th Cir. 2006). Further, following our independent review of the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________ -2-
