prison, the low end of the calculated United States Sentencing Guidelines range. His

counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386

U.S. 738 (1967), questioning the substantive reasonableness of Traxler’s sentence.

After careful review, we conclude that the District Court did not impose a

substantively unreasonable sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51

(2007) (explaining that the substantive reasonableness of a sentence should be

reviewed for an abuse of discretion and noting that “[i]f the sentence is within the

Guidelines range, the appellate court may . . . apply a presumption of

reasonableness”). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,

488 U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. 

We affirm the District Court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
