PER CURIAM.
Kevin Kunlay Williams directly appeals the sentence imposed by the district
1
court after he pleaded guilty to fraud and immigration offenses. His counsel has

for the Eastern District of Missouri.
moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), arguing the sentence is substantively unreasonable. Williams has moved to
proceed pro se.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence. The sentence was below the advisory Guideline range. The
court properly considered the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and there is no
indication that the court committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant
factors. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc)
(standard of review); see also United States v. Torres-Ojeda, 829 F.3d 1027, 1030
(8th Cir. 2016).
Having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75
(1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s
motion, deny Williams’s pro se motion, and affirm.
