PER CURIAM:

     Audwin L. Davis appeals the district court’s revocation of

supervised release imposed pursuant to a conviction for possession

of a firearm by a controlled substance abuser.             Davis’s attorney

has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967), stating that there are no meritorious issues for

appeal.     On Davis’s behalf, counsel contends that the district

court abused its discretion in finding Davis in violation of his

supervised release and in imposing a twelve-month period of active

incarceration.       Davis has filed a pro se supplemental brief also

claiming that the district court abused its discretion.

     We have reviewed the claims and find no abuse of discretion.

See United States v. Davis, 53 F.3d 638, 642-43 (4th Cir. 1995).

In addition, we have examined the entire record in this case in

accordance with the requirements of Anders and find no meritorious

issues for appeal.      We therefore affirm.

     This    court    requires   that   counsel   inform   his   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 a petition would be friv-

olous, 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.           Finally, we dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
