Before GRUENDER, BENTON and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Jarvis Miranda directly appeals after he pled guilty to a drug-conspiracy
offense and a felon-in-possession offense and the district court1 sentenced him to a

Western District of Arkansas.
total of 293 months in prison, upon imposing two partially consecutive prison terms.
His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the district court imposed a
substantively unreasonable sentence.

      After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074,
1076-77 (8th Cir. 2012) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions); see
also 18 U.S.C. § 3584 (if multiple terms of imprisonment are imposed at same time,
terms may run concurrently or consecutively; as to each offense court shall consider
18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record
pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
