PER CURIAM.

Jerry W. West appeals the sentence the district court1

 imposed after he pleaded

guilty to receiving child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2) (Count

1); possessing child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4)(B) (Count

2); and criminal forfeiture of two computers, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2253 (Count 3).

The district court sentenced West to concurrent prison terms of 180 months on Count

1 (the statutory minimum) and 120 months on Count 2, and concurrent supervised

release terms of life. West’s counsel now moves to withdraw and has filed a brief

under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing West’s sentence on Count

1 is unreasonable under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). This argument

is unavailing. See United States v. Gregg, 451 F.3d 930, 937 (8th Cir. 2006) (“Booker

does not relate to statutorily-imposed sentences”). 

After reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75,

80 (1988), we have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant

counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
