United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 06-3334 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Western District of Missouri. James Diamond Wainwright, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: October 4, 2007 Filed: October 9, 2007 ___________ Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. James Wainwright pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit bank fraud and other offenses, in violation of
18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1349, and bank fraud, in violation of
18 U.S.C. § 1344. At sentencing, the district court1 determined that Wainwright’s advisory Guidelines imprisonment range was 41-51 months, noted its consideration of the
18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and sentenced Wainwright to concurrent 46-month prison terms, to be followed by 5 years of supervised release. Wainwright appeals, 1 The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. and in a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738(1967), counsel raises issues concerning the reasonableness of Wainwright’s prison sentence. We review a sentence for reasonableness, affording a presumption of reasonableness if the sentence is within a correctly calculated Guidelines range. See Rita v. United States,
127 S. Ct. 2456, 2462 (2007) (approving presumption of reasonableness for sentences within advisory Guidelines range). Upon careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court correctly calculated Wainwright’s advisory Guidelines imprisonment range and reasonably sentenced him within that range. See United States v. Two Shields,
2007 WL 2301911, at *5 (8th Cir. Aug. 14, 2007) (defendant overcomes presumption of reasonableness if district court failed to consider relevant factor that should have received significant weight, gave significant weight to improper or irrelevant factor, or weighed appropriate factors in clearly erroneous way). After reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75(1988), we have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw. ______________________________ -2-
