Appeal from United States District Court
for the District of North Dakota - Fargo

Submitted: April 1, 2019

____________
Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
Selica Fender appeals from the sentence the District Court1 imposed after she
pleaded guilty to a drug offense. Her counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed
a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Counsel argues that the District Court erred in denying safety-valve relief
under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f). We reject this argument because we conclude that Fender
failed to establish that she qualified for the relief sought. See United States v.
Guerra-Cabrera,
477 F.3d 1021, 1025 (8th Cir. 2007) (stating that defendants must
establish that they qualify for safety-valve relief).
We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S.
75 (1988), and we have identified no non-frivolous issues for appeal. We grant
counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
