United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 19-2330 ___________________________ United States of America Plaintiff Appellee v. Cameron Lee Klouda Defendant Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids ____________ Submitted: April 20, 2020 Filed: April 23, 2020 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, SHEPHERD, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Cameron Klouda appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to drug and firearm offenses. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Klouda. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (standard of review). Furthermore, 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’s motion and affirm. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. -2-
