United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Jarvis Miranda, also known as Crazy Defendant - Appellant
Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville [Unpublished] Before GRUENDER, BENTON and KELLY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Jarvis Miranda directly appeals after he pled guilty to a drug-conspiracy offense and a felon-in-possession offense and the district court sentenced him to a total of 293 months in prison, upon imposing two partially consecutive prison terms. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence.
The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. --------
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); see also 18 U.S.C. § 3584 (if multiple terms of imprisonment are imposed at same time, terms may run concurrently or consecutively; as to each offense court shall consider 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). Furthermore, having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
