United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 24-1316 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Tony Ray Waites lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri ____________ Submitted: September 17, 2024 Filed: September 24, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before GRASZ, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Tony Waites appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pled guilty to child exploitation. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief The Honorable Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.

After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Waites. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760-61 (8th Cir. 2014) (presuming sentence reasonable if within United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual range). 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 leave to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________
