PER CURIAM.

      Joshua Smith appeals from the sentence imposed by the District Court1 after
he pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of an adult and attempted sex trafficking of an

      1
       The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
adult. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the court erred in imposing restitution
of $23,406. Because Smith did not object to the amount of restitution at sentencing,
we review only for plain error. See United States v. Louper-Morris, 672 F.3d 539,
566 (8th Cir. 2012) (standard of review). We find no such error. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 3663A (requiring the court to order that restitution be made to an identifiable victim
if the defendant is convicted of, inter alia, a crime of violence). We have reviewed
the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no
nonfrivolous issues for appeal.

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