Docket

*1 Before SHEPHERD, ERICKSON, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

Benjamin Coney appeals the sentence imposed by the district court [1] after he pled guilty to sex offenses. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has *2 filed a brief under Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1976), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.

After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Coney. 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, 760-61 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming sentence 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 non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw and affirm.

[1] The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
