                                 ____________

Before SHEPHERD, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Logan Wilson received a 72-month sentence after he pleaded guilty to a
firearms offense. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) (drug user in possession of a firearm).
An Anders brief suggests that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. See
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
       We conclude otherwise. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461
(8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (reviewing the reasonableness of a sentence for an abuse
of discretion). The record establishes that the district court 1 sufficiently considered
the statutory sentencing factors, 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and did not rely on an improper
factor or commit a clear error of judgment. See United States v. McDaniels, 19 F.4th
1065, 1067 (8th Cir. 2021) (per curiam) (explaining that the district court has “wide
latitude to weigh the relevant sentencing factors” and “weighing [them] differently
than a defendant would have preferred does not alone justify reversal” (citation
omitted)).

       We have also independently reviewed the record and conclude that no other
non-frivolous issues exist. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82–83 (1988). We
accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court and grant counsel permission
to withdraw.
