    ____________
    Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
    ____________
    PER CURIAM.
    In this direct criminal appeal, Andres Sanchez challenges the sentence the
    district court1 imposed following his guilty plea to drug charges. Sanchez’s counsel
    1
    The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
    the Southern District of Iowa.
    has moved to withdraw and submitted a brief under Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967), arguing that the sentence was substantively unreasonable.
    We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion, as it properly
    considered the 
    18 U.S.C. § 3553
    (a) factors; there was no indication that it overlooked
    a relevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors,
    see United States v. David, 
    682 F.3d 1074
    , 1077 (8th Cir. 2012) (standard of review);
    United States v. Wohlman, 
    651 F.3d 878
    , 887 (8th Cir. 2011); and the sentence was
    below the Guidelines range, see United States v. Moore, 
    581 F.3d 681
    , 684 (8th Cir.
    2009) (per curiam). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v.
    Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
     (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
    Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
