United States v. Jarvis Miranda
Opinion
Jarvis Miranda directly appeals after he pled guilty to a drug-conspiracy offense and a felon-in-possession offense and the district court 1 sentenced him to a total of *579 293 months in prison, upon imposing two partially consecutive prison terms. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1076-77 (8th Cir. 2012) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions); see also 18 U.S.C. § 3584 (if multiple terms of imprisonment are imposed at same time, terms may run concurrently or consecutively; as to each offense court shall consider 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
. The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. (
