Before WOLLMAN, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Francisco Barraza-Canizales appeals from the sentence imposed by the district
court1 following his guilty plea to distributing methamphetamine in violation of 21
U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). The court sentenced Barraza-Canizales at the bottom of the
applicable Guidelines range to 63 months& imprisonment and five years& supervised
release. After appellate counsel moved to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California,

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.


(1967), we granted Barraza-Canizales permission to file a pro se
supplemental brief, but he has not done so.

     Our review of the record reveals the existence of no nonfrivolous issues. See
Penson v. Ohio, 

, 80 (1988).

      The judgment is affirmed. Counsel&s motion to withdraw is granted.

      A true copy.
