                                 ____________

                                  ____________

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

PER CURIAM.

      Nathan Wagner appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he
pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine. Wagner’s counsel has

      1
       The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Judge for
the Southern District of Iowa.
moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.

       After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence. The sentence was below the advisory guideline range. The
court properly considered the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and there is no
indication that the court committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant
factors. See United States v. Salazar-Aleman, 741 F.3d 878, 881 (8th Cir. 2013)
(standard of review); see also United States v. Torres-Ojeda, 829 F.3d 1027, 1030
(8th Cir. 2016).

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