UNITED STATES v. CASSADY (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Kasey Lee CASSADY Defendant - Appellant

No. 20-3045

Decided: June 09, 2021

Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.

Craig Peyton Gaumer, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Kristin Herrera, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Margaret Anne Steindorf, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney's Office, Des Moines, IA, for Plaintiff-Appellee Kasey Lee Cassady, Pro Se

[Unpublished]

Kasey Cassady appeals the sentence the district court ¹ imposed after he pled guilty to drug and firearm offenses. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967).

After careful review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Cassady. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (reviewing sentence under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record under 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 and affirm.
