Opinion

United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 24-3379 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. George Tavis Marino, II lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central ____________ Submitted: June 4, 2025 Filed: June 9, 2025 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SHEPHERD, ERICKSON, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

George Marino appeals the district court’s1 judgment entered upon his guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm. His counsel has moved to withdraw, The Honorable James M. Moody Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the district court’s conclusion that he was an armed career criminal and subsequent imposition of an enhanced sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e).

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court correctly sentenced Marino as an armed career criminal based on his prior convictions as outlined in the presentence report. See United States v. Myers, 928 F.3d 763, 765-67 (8th Cir. 2019).

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