PER CURIAM.

Gerardo Aguilera-Alvarado appeals the 82-month prison sentence the district

court1

 imposed after he pleaded guilty to illegally reentering the country following

deportation for an aggravated felony, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(2). 

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

386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.

The Honorable Jimm Larry Hendren, Chief Judge, United States District Court

for the Western District of Arkansas.

Appellate Case: 10-1636 Page: 1 Date Filed: 08/11/2010 Entry ID: 3692434
We conclude that the district court committed no procedural sentencing error

and imposed a substantively reasonable sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S.

38, 51 (2007) (in reviewing sentence, appellate court first ensures that district court

committed no significant procedural error, then considers substantive reasonableness

of sentence under abuse-of-discretion standard; if sentence is within Guidelines range,

appellate court may apply presumption of reasonableness); United States v. Haack,

403 F.3d 997, 1004 (8th Cir. 2005) (describing abuse of discretion). 

Having reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we have

found no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw,

and we affirm.
