                                  ____________

Before LOKEN, COLLOTON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Reginald Counts appeals a sentence imposed by the district court1 after Counts
pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed

      1
      The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Arkansas.
a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
reasonableness of the sentence.

      We conclude that Counts’s sentence was not unreasonable, as there is no
indication that the court overlooked a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an
improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing the
relevant factors. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009)
(en banc); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014).

      We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75 (1988), and we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm,
and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
