UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Johnny Wayne CALLEN Defendant-Appellant
    No. 17-2372
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: February 6, 2018
    Filed: February 9, 2018
    Dustin S. Roberts, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Arkansas, Fort Smith, AR, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Johnny Wayne Callen, Pro Se
    Before BENTON, MURPHY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Johnny Callen directly appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence the district court imposed after he pleaded guilty to enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that the sentence is substantively unreasonable.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable). In addition, we have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. 
      
      . The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
