v.

Jamiah A. Burton

Defendant - Appellant ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Western ____________

Before BENTON, SHEPHERD, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Jamiah Burton appeals the sentence imposed by the district court 1 after he pled guilty to a gun offense. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

1 The Honorable Leonard T. Strand, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. Counsel moved for leave to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the sentence as substantively unreasonable. Upon careful review, this court concludes that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (abuse of discretion review); see also United States v. Mangum, 625 F.3d 466, 469–70 (8th Cir. 2010) (upward variance is reasonable where court makes individualized assessment based on facts presented).

Having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), this court finds no non-frivolous issues for appeal.

The judgment is affirmed and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. ______________________________
