PER CURIAM. Lorenzo Cook pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute at least 5 grams of cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(b)(1)(B). The district court denied his motion for a continuance of sentencing until Congress acted on pending legislation, and, declining to vary downward, sentenced him at the bottom of the applicable Guidelines range to 92 months in prison. Cook appeals. His counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that the court abused its discretion in denying a continuance and a variance, and that the sentence is unreasonable because it is greater than necessary. We hold that the court committed no procedural error in sentencing Cook, imposed a substantively reasonable sentence, and did not abuse its discretion in declining to vary downward. See Gall v.

United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007) (in reviewing sentence, appellate court first ensures that district court committed no significant procedural error, then considers substantive reasonableness of sentence under abuse-of-discretion standard; if sentence is within Guidelines range, appellate court may apply presumption of reasonableness); United States v. Haack, 403 F.3d 997, 1004 (8th Cir.2005) (describing abuse of discretion). We also find no abuse of discretion in the denial of a continuance. See United States v.

Vesey, 330 F.3d 1070, 1071-72 (8th Cir.2003) (district courts are afforded broad discretion when ruling on requests for continuances, which should be granted only when requesting party has shown compelling reason). Reviewing the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we find no nonfrivo-lous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and we affirm. . The Honorable John A. Jarvey, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
