    Before GRUENDER, ERICKSON, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
    ____________
    PER CURIAM.
    Jonathan T. Watkins appeals the sentence imposed by the district court 1 after
    he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. His counsel has moved
    1
    The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western
    District of Missouri.
    for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    (1967), arguing the district court procedurally erred in applying an enhancement to
    his base offense level, and Watkins’s sentence is substantively unreasonable.
    We conclude the district court did not err in applying the sentencing
    enhancement. See United States v. Kirlin, 
    859 F.3d 539
    , 543 (8th Cir. 2017)
    (standard of review); U.S.S.G. §§ 2K2.1(a)(2), 4B1.2(a). We also conclude the district
    court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v.
    Feemster, 
    572 F.3d 455
    , 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (reviewing sentence under
    deferential abuse-of-discretion standard and discussing substantive reasonableness).
    Having reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
     (1988), we find
    no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm, and we grant counsel leave to
    withdraw.
