PER CURIAM.

Wesley Norris directly appeals after he pled guilty to distributing child pornography and the district court1 sentenced him to a prison term within the

1 The Honorable Roseann A. Ketchmark, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. calculated United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual range. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), raising as an issue whether the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable prison term.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable prison term. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (reviewing sentence under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard and discussing substantive reasonableness). In addition, 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 to withdraw, and we affirm. ______________________________
