UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                           Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

BERNETTA FREEMAN-WARNER,

                                           Defendant-Appellant.



            Appeal from the United States District Court
              for the Southern District of Mississippi
                      USDC No. 1:00-CR-31-2-GR

                               July 23, 2002

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

      Bernetta    Freeman-Warner     pleaded    guilty    to   possession    of

fictitious obligations in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 514(a)(2).               Her

court-appointed counsel, Nathan Clark, filed an appellate brief

arguing that the district court erred by denying the request for a

reduction in offense level based on Freeman-Warner’s having had a

minor role in the offense.           The government filed a motion to

dismiss the appeal based on the waiver of appeal provision in the

circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
parties’ written memorandum of understanding upon Freeman-Warner’s

guilty plea.

       Clark then filed a motion to respond out of time and for leave

to withdraw citing Anders v. California,1 and asserting that the

issue he previously had raised was frivolous.               Freeman-Warner has

filed a response to the motion.               She argues that she should be

resentenced because the district court erred by increasing her

offense level for involving more than minimal planning and more

than one victim, denying her motion for a reduction based on her

allegedly minor role in the offense, sentencing her based on a loss

of between $5,000 and $10,000 when she was ordered to pay only

$2,856.81 in restitution, and sentencing her to five years of

“probation” when only three years of “probation” were imposed. She

also contends that upon paying restitution her “probation” should

end.

       Our independent review of the brief, the motions, Freeman-

Warner’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue

for appeal.         Freeman-Warner has not argued that her waiver of

appeal was uninformed or involuntary, nor does the record admit of

any doubt as to her understanding of and free consent to the

waiver.2      Accordingly, the motion to respond out of time, counsel’s

motion for leave to withdraw, and the government’s motion to
