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.
386 U.S. 738 (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, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988).

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

      A true copy.

            Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
