Defendant - Appellant ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City ____________

Before LOKEN, BENTON, and ERICKSON Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Jamerl Wortham appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after the court vacated one count of conviction and resentenced him. His counsel has moved

1 The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. to withdraw, and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 36 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence is substantively unreasonable.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in imposing the Guidelines sentence that Wortham received. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); United States v. Bridges, 569 F.3d 374, 379 (8th Cir. 2009); United States v. Canania, 532 F.3d 764, 773 (8th Cir. 2008). We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal.

Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________
