brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion
in sentencing Pacheco. See United States v. Brown, 992 F.3d 665, 673 (8th Cir.
2021) (standard of review); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760–61
(8th Cir. 2014) (presuming reasonable sentences within United States Sentencing
Guidelines Manual range ). Further, having independently reviewed the record under
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw and affirm.
