PER CURIAM.
Corey Barr appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded
guilty to a firearm offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief
1
The Honorable Beth Phillips, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the
Western District of Missouri.
under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, 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 considered an improper or
irrelevant factor or committed a clear error in weighing relevant factors. See United
States v. Salazar-Aleman, 741 F.3d 878, 881 (8th Cir. 2013) (discussing appellate
review of sentencing decisions). Further, the court imposed a sentence within the
guidelines imprisonment range. See United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760
(8th Cir. 2014) (stating that a within-guidelines-range sentence is presumed
reasonable).
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 and affirm.
