UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Dominic A. TURNER Defendant-Appellant
    No. 17-2581
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: February 2, 2018
    Filed: February 12, 2018
    Jeffrey Q. McCarther, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Kansas City, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Anita L. Burns, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Kansas City, MO, for Defendant-Appellant
    Dominic A. Turner, Pro Se
    Before BENTON, MURPHY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Dominic A. Turner directly appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence the district court imposed after he pled guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. 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. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

Upon careful review, this court concludes 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); 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.

The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. 
      
      . The Honorable Roseann A. Ketchmark, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
