Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Desire Sepeda appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after she pleaded guilty to a drug offense. Her counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed

1 The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the district court erred in denying a mitigating-role reduction.

After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not clearly err in declining to apply a mitigating-role reduction. See United States v. Hunt, 840 F.3d 554, 557 (8th Cir. 2016) (standard of review). Further, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion and affirm. ______________________________
