PER CURIAM.

Devonte Demario Colbert appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1

after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and

1The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for

the Southern District of Iowa.

Appellate Case: 19-3120 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/14/2020 Entry ID: 4913211
has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the

substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

Upon careful review under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, see Gall

v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 41 (2007), we conclude that the district court did not

impose an unreasonable sentence. The court properly considered the factors set forth

in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and there is no indication that the court overlooked a relevant

factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a

clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors. See United States v. Feemster,

572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Finally, we have independently

reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no

nonfrivolous issues for appeal. 

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

judgment.
