UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. William Leo YANCEY, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 17-1908
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: November 24, 2017
    Filed: December 11, 2017
    
      Lisa C. Williams, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Iowa, Cedar Rapids, IA, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    William Leo Yancey, Pro Se
    Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

William Yancey appeals after he pled guilty to a drug-related offense and the district court sentenced him to 188 months in prison, a term within the calculated Guidelines range. 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), questioning the reasonableness of Yancey’s prison term. Yancey has not filed a supplemental brief.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1076-77 (8th Cir. 2012) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-Guidelines 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, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm. 
      
      . The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa.
