                                   ____________

Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Dmontrey Redmond received a 120-month prison sentence after he pleaded
guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). In an
Anders brief, Redmond’s counsel suggests that the sentence is substantively
unreasonable. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). A pro se supplemental
brief claims that trial counsel was ineffective.
       We conclude that the sentence is reasonable. 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. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en
banc). The ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim, meanwhile, will have to await
collateral review. See United States v. Ramirez-Hernandez, 449 F.3d 824, 826–27
(8th Cir. 2006) (explaining that this type of claim is “usually best litigated in
collateral proceedings”).

      Finally, we have 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.
                       ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Court Judge for the
Northern District of Iowa.
