PER CURIAM.

Rodney Hall appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pled guilty to drug and firearm offenses. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and

1 The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1976), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Hall. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760-61 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming sentence reasonable if within United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual range). 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. ______________________________
