PER CURIAM.

Jeremy C. Conn pleaded guilty to drug charges and was sentenced to eightyfour months in prison. In this appeal, Conn’s attorney has moved to withdraw and

filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing the district

court should have departed downward from the otherwise applicable Sentencing

Guidelines range because Conn’s criminal history score overrepresented his criminal

propensities. See U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3(b). This argument fails because the district

court’s discretionary refusal to depart downward is not reviewable on appeal. United

States v. Parks, 364 F.3d 902, 906 (8th Cir. 2004). Conn has filed a pro se

supplemental brief and his pro se arguments also fail. Having reviewed the Anders

brief, Conn’s supplemental brief, and the record independently under Penson v. Ohio,

488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues and thus affirm. We grant

counsel’s motion to withdraw, and deny Conn’s pro se motion for copies of discovery

and grand jury transcripts.
