PER CURIAM.

Jeremy Traxler appeals after he pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and the District Court sentenced him to 188 months in prison, the low end of the calculated United States Sentencing Guidelines range. 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), questioning the substantive reasonableness of Trader’s,sentence.

After careful review, we conclude that the District Court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007) (explaining that the substantive reasonableness of a sentence should be reviewed for an abuse of discretion and noting that “[i]f the sentence is within the Guidelines range, the appellate court may ... apply a presumption of reasonableness”). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal.

We affirm the District Court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.

. The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
