    PER CURIAM.
    Eugar D. Burnett challenges the sentence imposed for a firearm conviction
    when Burnett was resentenced by the district court.* Although we affirmed Burnett’s
    original sentence in United States v. Burnett, 
    60 Fed. Appx. 639
     (8th Cir. 2003)
    (unpublished per curiam), the district court resentenced Burnett to delete a reference
    in the judgment and commitment to another federal case. Burnett’s counsel has
    *
    The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern
    District of Missouri.
    moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967).
    We reject counsel’s arguments, because they raise matters settled in Burnett’s
    first criminal appeal. Burnett also raises a number of arguments in a pro se
    supplemental brief, but these arguments were or could have been raised in his earlier
    appeal, and his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is not properly raised in this
    direct criminal appeal. See United States v. Logan, 
    333 F.3d 876
    , 877-78 (8th Cir.),
    cert. denied, 
    2003 WL 22207172
     (U.S. Nov. 3, 2003) (No. 03-6456); United States
    v. Hughes, 
    330 F.3d 1068
    , 1069 (8th Cir. 2003).
    Having reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
    ,
    80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. We affirm, and we grant counsel’s motion
    to withdraw.
