Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Juan GARCIA-BAUTISTA, Appellant.
No. 09-3484.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted: June 11, 2010.
Filed: June 25, 2010.
Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Juan Garcia-Bautista challenges the sentence imposed by the district court after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense. On appeal, his counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that the sentence is unreasonable under the facts of this case.
We review the imposition of sentences under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, first ensuring that the district court committed no significant procedural error, and then considering the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir.2009) (en banc). The sentence imposed was at the bottom of the undisputed advisory Guidelines range, see Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 347-50, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007), and we find no indication that Garcia-Bautista would be able to rebut the resulting presumption of reasonableness, see United States v. Cadenas, 445 F.3d 1091,1094 (8th Cir.2006). Further, after reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. We also grant counsel's motion to withdraw, and we deny Gareia-Bautista's pending motion for appointment of counsel.
. The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
