PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 15-2536 Page: 1 Date Filed: 01/12/2016 Entry ID: 4355075 
Marcos Lopez directly appeals after he pleaded guilty to a federal immigration

charge, and the district court sentenced him within the unobjected-to Guidelines

1

range to 50 months in prison and three years of supervised release. His counsel has

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

(1967), he challenges the substantive reasonableness of Lopez’s sentence.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in

refusing to vary below the Guidelines range, and that the resulting sentence is not

substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th

Cir. 2009) (en banc) (standard of review); United States v. Jordan, 573 F.3d 586, 590

(8th Cir. 2009). Further, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to

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

Accordingly, we affirm. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
