PER CURIAM.

Anthony Crosby directly appeals after he pled guilty to a drug offense, and the district court1 sentenced him to a prison term below the calculated Guidelines range.

1 The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of Crosby’s sentence.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (sentences are reviewed under deferential abuse-of- discretion standard; discussing substantive reasonableness). In addition, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw, and we affirm. ______________________________
