Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central [Unpublished] Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Anthony Donte Richardson appeals the sentence imposed by the district court after Richardson pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm as a felon. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. --------
Under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, see Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 41 (2007), we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable sentence. The court properly considered the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and there is no indication that the court overlooked a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors and imposing a sentence below the advisory sentencing guideline range. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); see also United States v. Mays, 967 F.3d 748, 754 (8th Cir. 2020); United States v. Dunn, 928 F.3d 688, 694 (8th Cir. 2019). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw, and we affirm the judgment.
