counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing
that Horn’s sentence is substantively unreasonable.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074,
1076-77 (8th Cir. 2012) (discussing appellate review of sentencing decisions).
Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.
The judgment is affirmed.
