total of 293 months in prison, upon imposing two partially consecutive prison terms. 

His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the district court imposed a

substantively unreasonable sentence.

After 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 18 U.S.C. § 3584 (if multiple terms of imprisonment are imposed at same time,

terms may run concurrently or consecutively; as to each offense court shall consider

18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record

pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. 

Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
