PER CURIAM.

Fermin Jaimes-Enriquez appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence imposed

by the district court1

 upon his guilty plea to illegally re-entering the United States after

having been deported following an aggravated felony, in violation of 8 U.S.C.

§ 1326(a), (b)(2). On appeal, his counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief

under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence was

unreasonable.

Having carefully reviewed the record and the sentence, see United States v.

Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (deferential abuse-of-discretion

standard of review), we conclude that the sentence is not unreasonable, see Rita v.

United States, 551 U.S. 338, 347-50 (2007) (presumption of reasonableness); United

States v. Cadenas, 445 F.3d 1091, 1094 (8th Cir. 2006). Further, following our

independent review of the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we have

found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the

district court, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
