Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       James Daniels pleaded guilty to disobeying court orders, in violation of 18
U.S.C. § 401(3), and the district court1 sentenced him to 18 months imprisonment and
3 years supervised release. On appeal, counsel has moved to withdraw under Anders
v. California, 

(1967), and filed a brief raising the issue whether Daniels
received effective assistance of counsel. Daniels filed a pro se motion to strike the
Anders brief, as well as a supplemental brief arguing that the district court erred in
giving him a 3-level increase for interference with the administration of justice.

      1
        The HONORABLE NANETTE K. LAUGHREY, United States District Judge
for the Western District of Missouri.
       We deny the motion to strike, and conclude that any ineffective-assistance
claim should be raised in 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceedings. See United States v. Jones,

, 370 (8th Cir. 1997). We further conclude that the district court did not
plainly err in giving Daniels a substantial-interference adjustment. See United States
v. Evans, 

, 1089 (8th Cir. 2001); United States v. Plumley, 

, 1092-93 (8th Cir. 2000). Moreover, following our independent review, see
Penson v. Ohio, 

(1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.

      Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
