Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Rashem Santa Perry appeal s his conviction and 120

- month sentence, imposed after his guilty plea, pursuant to a plea agreement, to possession of firearms by a felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) , 924(a)(2) (2012). Perry’s attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there are no meritorious is sues for appeal, but questioning whether the district court complied with Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 and whether the sentence is reasonable. Perry did not file a supplemental brief. We affirm. Perry did not attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in the district court , and, thus, we review the Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 hearing for plain error. United States v. Sanya , 774 F.3d 812, 815 (4th Cir. 2014 ). To establish plain error, an appellant “ must demonstrate that an

error occurred, that the error was plain, and that t he error affected his substantial rights.” United States v. Heyer , 740 F.3d 284, 290 (4th Cir. 2014). In the guilty plea context, a defendant can establish that an error affected his substantial rights by showing a reasonable probability that, but for th e error, he w ould not have plead guilty. Sanya , 774 F.3d at 816. Because we detect no reversible error in the district court’s Rule 11 plea colloquy, we affirm Perry’s conviction. We review Perry’s sentence for both procedural and substantive reasonablen ess “under a deferential abuse of discretion standard.” Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 5 1 (2007). We “first ensure that the district court committed no significant procedural error, such as failing to calculate (or improperly calculating) the [Sente ncing] Guidelines range, . . . failing to consider the [18 U.S.C] § 3553(a) factors, . . . or failing to adequately3 explain the chosen sentence[.]” Id. at 51; see 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2016). If there is no significant procedural error, we then consider th e sentence’s substantive reasonableness under “the totality of the circumstances, including the extent of any variance from the Guidelines range.” Gall , 552 U.S. at 51. We presume that a sentence within a properly calculated Guidelines range is reasonabl e, and a defendant can rebut this presumption only “by showing that the sentence is unreasonable when measured against the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors.” United States v. Louthian , 756 F.3d 295, 306 (4th Cir. 2014). Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no error in the district court’s imposition of Perry’s sentence. The district court properly calculated the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range and sufficiently explained its reasons for imposing the sentence Perry received. Furthermore, Perry has not made the showing necessary to rebut the presumption of reasonableness that we afford his within

- Guidelines range
sentence. In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the entire record and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore aff irm Perry’s conviction and sentence. This court requires that counsel inform Perry, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Perry requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Perry.4 We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
