                              ____________

Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Kasey Cassady appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pled
guilty to drug and firearm offenses. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed
a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

       After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Cassady. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (reviewing sentence under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard).
Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant
counsel’s motion and affirm.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for
the Southern District of Iowa.
