PER CURIAM.
Shawn Lee directly appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he
pled guilty to possessing a prohibited object in prison, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
1
The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
§ 1791(a)(2) and (d)(1)(B). His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief
under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that Lee’s sentence is
unreasonable.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (discussing appellate review of sentences; if sentence is within
Guidelines range, appellate court may apply, but is not required to apply, presumption
of reasonableness). Having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson
v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
