lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant. ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield ____________

Submitted: December 6, 2018 Filed: January 10, 2019 [Unpublished] ____________

Before COLLOTON, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Adam Billings directly appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed

1 The Honorable M. Douglas Harpool, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the sentence as substantively unreasonable. Billings has not filed a pro se brief.

After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable sentence, as the court properly considered the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and there is no indication that the court committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors. See United States v. Salazar-Aleman, 741 F.3d 878, 881 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review).

Having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion and affirm. ______________________________
