PER CURIAM.

Darron Van Hill appeals after he conditionally pleaded guilty to a firearms

offense, and the district court1

 imposed a 24-month prison sentence. His counsel has

1The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern

District of Iowa.

moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967), challenging the district court’s denial of a motion to suppress. Upon careful

review, we conclude that the district court properly denied the motion. See United

States v. Donnelly, 475 F.3d 946, 951 (8th Cir. 2007) (standard of review); see also

United States v. Shackleford, 830 F.3d 751, 753 (8th Cir. 2016) (stating that probable

cause to believe that an automobile contains contraband or evidence of criminal

activity justifies the warrantless search of the automobile and seizure of the

contraband).

Finally, having reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488

U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm, and we

grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
