activity. His counsel has moved to withdraw and submitted a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence was unreasonable.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence, as there was no indication that it overlooked a relevant 18
U.S.C. § 3553 factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant
factors, see United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1077 (8th Cir. 2012) (standard of
review); United States v. Wohlman, 651 F.3d 878, 887 (8th Cir. 2011); and the
sentence was within the Guidelines range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d
754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014). Having independently reviewed the record pursuant to
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
