United States v. Jamiah Burton

United States Court of Appeals

For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 25-1643 ___________________________ United States of America

Plaintiff - Appellee v. Jamiah A. Burton

Defendant - Appellant

____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Western ____________ Submitted: September 8, 2025 Filed: September 11, 2025 [Unpublished] ____________

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.

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.
