             BEFORE: McKEE, NYGAARD, and SILER,* Circuit Judges.

                               (Filed: November 5, 2008)




        *The Honorable Eugene E. Siler, Jr., Senior Circuit Judge for the United States
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting by designation.
                               OPINION OF THE COURT


SILER, Circuit Judge.

       Appellant, Vicente Zuniga-Torres, entered into a plea agreement with the

Government, whereby he agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute

500 grams or more of cocaine. The District Court sentenced him to 57 months’

incarceration and five years of supervised release. We will affirm.

       Because we write exclusively for the parties who are familiar with the facts and the

proceedings below, we will not revisit them here. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 

(1967), Zuniga-Torres’s counsel has examined the record, concluded that there

are no non-frivolous issues for review, and has requested permission to withdraw.

       We, too, have thoroughly examined the record and can find no non-frivolous

issues to be raised in this appeal. Hence, we will affirm the judgment of the District

Court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
