                                  ____________

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

PER CURIAM.

       Darryl Green appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded
guilty to a drug offense. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed

      1
      The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Arkansas.
a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence.

      Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455,
461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (sentences are reviewed for substantive
reasonableness under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard; discussing substantive
reasonableness); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir.
2014) (within-Guidelines sentence is presumed reasonable).

      We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment of the district court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
