PER CURIAM.

Carl Thomas Whipple appeals the 240-month sentence the district court1

imposed following this court’s remand for resentencing under United States v.

Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). Counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing the district court should have

further reduced Mr. Whipple’s sentence because of his age and deteriorating physical

condition. We find the 18% downward variance from the bottom of the advisory

Guidelines range of 292-365 months was not unreasonable. See United States v.

-2-

Bryant, 446 F.3d 1317, 1319 (8th Cir. 2006) (when there is no dispute about

applicable Guidelines range, appeals court considers whether sentence imposed is

reasonable in light of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). After our review of the record

pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.

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