UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Tiffany ZERLEY Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-3840
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: June 16, 2017
    Filed: June 21, 2017
    Kimberly C. Bunjer, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Nebraska, Omaha, NE, for Plaintiff-Appel-lee
    Mary Clare Gryva, Attorney, Mary C. Gryva Law Office, Omaha, NE, for Defendant-Appellant
    Tiffany Zerley, Pro Se
    Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Tiffany Zerley appeals from the sentence the District Court imposed after she pleaded guilty to a drug charge. Her counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that Zerley’s sentence is substantively unreasonable.

We conclude that the District Court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions); United States v. McCauley, 715 F.3d 1119, 1127 (8th Cir. 2013) (noting that when a district court has varied below the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines range, it is “nearly inconceivable” that the court abused its discretion in not varying further). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm. 
      
      . The Honorable Laurie Smith Camp, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Nebraska.
