For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 21-3375 ___________________________ United States of America, lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee, v. Valentino Giovanni McCampbell, lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant. ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern ____________ Submitted: April 20, 2022 Filed: April 26, 2022 [Unpublished] ____________

Before COLLOTON, ERICKSON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.

____________ PER CURIAM.

Valentino McCampbell appeals a sentence imposed by the district court1 after McCampbell pleaded guilty to a firearm offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the court erred in applying enhancements for an offense involving a stolen firearm, and for possessing a firearm in connection with another felony offense.

We conclude that the district court did not err in applying the enhancements, as the record supported the court’s findings that a firearm had been stolen, see U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(4), comment. (n.8(B)); United States v. Bates, 584 F.3d 1105, 1108-10 (8th Cir. 2009), and that McCampbell used the firearms to facilitate his drug activities, see U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(6), comment. (n.14(B)); United States v. Dixon, 822 F.3d 464, 465 (8th Cir. 2016).

We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
