Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM.

       Jonathan Green directly appeals the above-Guidelines-range sentence the
district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to escape from federal custody. His

      1
        The Honorable Greg Kays, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), suggesting that the sentence is substantively unreasonable.

      Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an
unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Mangum, 625 F.3d 466, 470 (8th Cir.
2010) (upward variance is reasonable where court makes individualized assessment
of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors based on facts presented, and considers defendant’s
proffered information). Further, having independently reviewed the record under
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.

     Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the
judgment of the district court.
