California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence was substantively unreasonable. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms. After careful review of the record, this court concludes that the district court did not impose an unreasonable sentence, 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. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1077 (8th Cir. 2012) (standard of review); United States v. Wohlman, 651 F.3d 878, 887 (8th Cir. 2011). The sentence was within the Guidelines range. See United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014). This court has independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and finds no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. ______________________________ -2-
