Docket

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

____________

PER CURIAM.

In this direct criminal appeal, Andres Sanchez challenges the sentence the district court imposed following his guilty plea to drug charges. Sanchez’s counsel [1]

*2 has moved to withdraw and submitted a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence was substantively unreasonable.

We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion, as it properly considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; there was no indication that it overlooked a relevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors, see United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1077 (8th Cir. 2012) (standard of review); United States v. Wohlman, 651 F.3d 878, 887 (8th Cir. 2011); and the sentence was below the Guidelines range, see United States v. Moore, 581 F.3d 681, 684 (8th Cir. 2009) (per curiam). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
