Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Justin Uriah Bell pled guilty to possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. He received a 42

- month sentence. O n appeal, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting that there are no meritorious grounds for appeal, but questioning whether the sentence was reasonable. Bell filed a supplemental brief. The Government de clined to file a response. We affirm.
C ounsel questions whether the sentence was reasonable, in light of Bell’s request for a sentence at the bottom of the Sentencing Guidelines range and for the sentence to be concurrent to an undischarged state sentence . We review a sentence for reasonableness, applying an abuse of discretion standard. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 46 (2007). The court first reviews for significant procedural error, and if the sentence is free from such error, it then considers substantive reasonableness. Id. at 51. Procedural error includes improperly calculating the Guidelines range, treating the Guidelines range as mandatory, failing to consider the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) (2012) factors, and failing to adequately explain the

se lected sentence. Id . To adequately explain the sentence, the district court must make an “individualized assessment” by applying the relevant § 3553(a) factors to the case’s specific circumstances. United States v. Carter , 564 F.3d 325, 328 (4th3 Cir. 20 09). The individualized assessment need not be elaborate or lengthy, but it must be adequate to allow meaningful appellate review. Id. at 330. Substantive reasonableness is determined by considering the totality of the circumstances, and if the sentence is within the properly

- calculated Guidelines range, we apply a presumption of reasonableness. United
States v. Strieper , 666 F.3d 288, 295 (4th Cir. 2012). We conclude that Bell has not rebutted the presumption of reasonableness. In accordance with Ande rs , we have reviewed Bell’s pro se supplemental brief challenging the presentence report and the record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore affirm Bell ’s conviction and sentence. This court requires that counsel inf orm Bell , in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Bell requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leav e to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Bell
.4 We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before th is court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
