Opinion

United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 23-1550 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Craig Reuter lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Eastern ____________ Submitted: October 6, 2023 Filed: October 11, 2023 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, SHEPHERD, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Craig Reuter appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence the district court1 imposed after he pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. His The Honorable C.J. Williams, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

Upon careful review, we conclude the sentence was not substantively unreasonable, as the district court properly considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors including Reuter’s mitigating factors, did not overlook a relevant factor, or commit a clear error of judgment in weighing the relevant factors, see United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); and the court imposed a prison term within the Guidelines range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014). We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________
