                                 ____________

Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Laquetta Hughes directly appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after
she pled guilty to a firearm charge. Her counsel has moved for leave to withdraw,

      1
       The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern
District of Iowa.
and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the
sentence is substantively unreasonable. Hughes has filed a pro se brief, also arguing
that her sentence is substantively unreasonable.

       Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did not impose
a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455,
461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions);
see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal,
within-Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable). In addition, we have
independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and
have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed,
and counsel is granted leave to withdraw.
