                     Appeal from United States District Court
                       for the Eastern District of Arkansas
                                  ____________

                                 [Unpublished]
                                 ____________

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

PER CURIAM.

       Theo Walker appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pled
guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. His counsel has moved to withdraw

      1
       The Honorable Kristine G. Baker, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

       After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Walker. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir.
2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d
754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming sentences reasonable if within United States
Sentencing Guidelines Manual range). Further, 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 leave to withdraw and affirm.
