United States v. Francisco Hernandez

694 F. App'x 457
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit·Decided August 1, 2017·No. 16-3846·Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Francisco Guerrero Hernandez (Guerrero) directly appeals the sentence the district court 1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967).

As to counsel’s arguments, we find no error in the district court’s determination of the drug quantity attributable to Guerrero, and no other issues warranting relief. See United States v. Turner, 781 F.3d 374, 393 (8th Cir. 2015) (this court reviews district court’s application of Guidelines de novo, and its findings of fact for clear error); United States v. Young, 689 F.3d 941, 945 (8th Cir. 2012) (in drug conspiracy case, attributable drug quantity includes quantities attributable directly to defendant as well as quantities attributable to reasonably foreseeable actions of others taken to further conspiracy). In addition, we have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment.

. The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.
