United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 19-1888 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Patrick Corey Colvin lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Waterloo ____________ Submitted: December 13, 2019 Filed: December 18, 2019 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, SHEPHERD, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Patrick Colvin appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to a firearm offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief 1 The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Colvin, as there was no indication that it overlooked a relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors, see United States v. Salazar-Aleman, 741 F.3d 878, 881 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); and the sentence was within the Guidelines range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion and affirm. ______________________________ -2-
