United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Dangelo P. Moore Defendant - Appellant


Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield [Unpublished] Before SHEPHERD, MELLOY, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

Dangelo Moore appeals the sentence imposed by the district court after he pleaded guilty to drug offenses. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the sentence.

The Honorable Beth Phillips, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. --------

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (sentences are reviewed for substantive reasonableness under deferential abuse of discretion standard; abuse of discretion occurs when court fails to consider relevant factor, gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant factor, or commits clear error of judgment in weighing appropriate factors). The record establishes that the district court adequately considered the sentencing factors listed in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th Cir. 2014) (on appeal, within-Guidelines-range sentence may be presumed reasonable).

We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, and grant counsel's motion to withdraw.
