PER CURIAM.
Clyde Stewart, Jr. appeals a sentence imposed by the district court1 after Stewart pleaded guilty to offenses involving drugs and firearms. His counsel has
1 The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.
We conclude that Stewart’s sentence was not substantively unreasonable. The court imposed a sentence below the advisory guideline range, see United States v. McCauley, 715 F.3d 1119, 1127 (8th Cir. 2013), and there is no indication that the district court overlooked a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing the relevant factors. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc).
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. ______________________________
