United States v. Toni Yeager

United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 25-3300 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Toni Yeager lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville ____________ Submitted: April 2, 2026 Filed: April 7, 2026 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SMITH, GRASZ, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Toni Yeager appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after she pleaded guilty to a drug offense pursuant to a written plea agreement. Her counsel has moved The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. 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 Yeager. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (standard of review); see also United States v. Timberlake, 679 F.3d 1008, 1012 (8th Cir. 2012) (district court is presumed to have considered mitigating factors counsel discussed at sentencing and has substantial latitude to weigh sentencing factors); United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-Guidelines range sentence may be presumed reasonable). 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’s motion to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________
