United States v. Rasheka Mickeal
Opinion
United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 23-2975 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Rasheka Monique Mickeal lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa ____________ Submitted: March 7, 2024 Filed: March 14, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before COLLOTON,1 KELLY, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.
Judge Colloton became chief judge of the circuit on March 11, 2024. See 28 U.S.C. § 45(a)(1).
Rasheka Mickeal appeals the sentence the district court2 imposed after she pled guilty to possessing a firearm as an unlawful user of controlled substances. Her 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.
After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Mickeal. 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 nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________
The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. -2-
