PER CURIAM.
William Hansen (Hansen) appeals the 120-month statutory mandatory
minimum prison sentence the district court 1 imposed upon his guilty plea to
conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of a
mixture or substance containing methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.
§§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1) and 846. Hansen’s counsel moves to withdraw and has filed a
brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing Hansen’s sentence is
unreasonable under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005). This argument is

unavailing. See United States v. Gregg, 451 F.3d 930, 937 (8th Cir. 2006) (stating
“Booker does not relate to statutorily-imposed sentences”).
After reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75
(1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. We grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw, and we affirm.
