United States v. Benjamin Coney
Opinion
United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 25-1214 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Benjamin Coney lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas ____________ Submitted: June 30, 2025 Filed: July 3, 2025 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SHEPHERD, ERICKSON, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.
Benjamin Coney appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pled guilty to sex offenses. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1976), challenging the reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Coney. 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. ______________________________
