Docket

*1 Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

Lewis Heggs directly appeals after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court [1] *2 sentenced him to 96 months in prison, which was within the calculated Guidelines range. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), questioning the reasonableness of Heggs’s sentence.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster , 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (reviewing sentences for abuse of discretion and noting that if a sentence is within the Guidelines range, an appellate court may apply a presumption of reasonableness). In addition, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio , 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
