PER CURIAM.
Cesar Medel-Vargas appeals after he pled guilty to illegal reentry, and the district court1 imposed a sentence at the bottom of the advisory range under the
1 The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“Guidelines”). His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing Medel-Vargas’s sentence is substantively unreasonable.
Upon careful review, we conclude 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) (reviewing sentence under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard and discussing substantive reasonableness). In addition, having reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw. ______________________________
