    PER CURIAM.
    Anthony Donte Richardson appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1
    after Richardson pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm as a felon. His
    1
    The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for
    the Southern District of Iowa.
    counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
    Under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, see Gall v. United States, 
    552 U.S. 38
    , 41 (2007), we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable
    sentence. The court properly considered the factors set forth in 
    18 U.S.C. § 3553
    (a),
    and there is no indication that the court overlooked a relevant factor, gave significant
    weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in
    weighing relevant factors and imposing a sentence below the advisory sentencing
    guideline range. See United States v. Feemster, 
    572 F.3d 455
    , 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009)
    (en banc); see also United States v. Mays, 
    967 F.3d 748
    , 754 (8th Cir. 2020); United
    States v. Dunn, 
    928 F.3d 688
    , 694 (8th Cir. 2019). We have independently reviewed
    the record under Penson v. Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
     (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous
    issues for appeal.
    Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the
    judgment.
