PER CURIAM.

Kenneth Moore appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm pursuant to a written plea

1 The Honorable Rodney W. Sippel, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. agreement containing a limited appeal waiver. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the term of supervised release as substantively unreasonable.

After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Moore. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Adams, 12 F.4th 883, 889 (8th Cir. 2021) (term of supervised release is part of sentence); United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable). Further, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________
