Docket

*1 Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

Laquetta Hughes directly appeals the sentence the district court imposed after [1] she pled guilty to a firearm charge. Her counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, *2 and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. Hughes has filed a pro se brief, also arguing that her sentence is substantively unreasonable.

Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable). In addition, we have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed, and counsel is granted leave to withdraw.
