Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California,386 U.S. 738
(1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. Upon careful review, we conclude that the sentence is not substantively unreasonable, as the court did not commit a clear error of judgment in weighing the appropriate sentencing factors, see United States v. Garcia,946 F.3d 413
, 419 (8th Cir. 2019); and the sentence is below the Guidelines range, see United States v. Moore,581 F.3d 681
, 684 (8th Cir. 2009) (per curiam). We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,488 U.S. 75
(1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________ -2-
