Rose, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. been previously deported following a felony conviction. 8 U.S.C. ยง 1326(a), (b)(1). Guzman s counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that Guzman s sentence was unreasonable and that he should have been sentenced to time served. We conclude that the sentence which is at the bottom of the uncontested Guidelines range is not unreasonable. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461, 464 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Further, having reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel s motion to withdraw, and we affirm. ______________________________ -2-
