UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Augusto Francisco SUAREZ-GARCIA, also known as Francisco Suares-Garcia Defendant-Appellant
[Unpublished]
In this direct criminal appeal, Francisco Suarez-Garcia challenges the sentence the district court 1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to unlawfully using an identification document. His counsel has moved to withdraw and submitted a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that the term of supervised release was substantively unreasonable.
After careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable sentence, as there was no indication that it overlooked a relevant section 18 U.S.C. § 3553 factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors, see United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1077 (8th Cir. 2012) (standard of review); and the sentence was within the Guidelines range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014).
Having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
