PER CURIAM:

     Daniel Wayne Cade pled guilty to one count of distribution of

methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (2000), and

one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation

of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2) (2000). Cade’s attorney filed

a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 

(1967), stating there are no meritorious issues for appeal.              Cade

has filed a pro se supplemental brief raising the following claims:

(1) the search pursuant to a warrant violated his right to due

process; (2) the prosecutor acted vindictively in prosecuting the

case; and (3) counsel was ineffective for failing to consider an

appeal.   Finding no reversible error, we affirm.

     In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record

and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We have considered

Cade’s issues raised in the supplemental brief and find them

without merit. We therefore affirm Cade’s convictions and sentence.

We require that counsel inform her client, in writing, of his right

to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further

review.   If the client requests that a petition be filed, but

counsel believes that such petition would be frivolous, then

counsel   may   move   in   this   court   for   leave   to   withdraw   from

representation.    Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof

was served on the client.      We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the


                                      2
materials   before   the   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the

decisional process.
