NOTICE:  Eighth Circuit Rule 28A(k) governs citation of unpublished opinions and provides that they are not precedent and generally should not be cited unless relevant to establishing the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, the law of the case, or if the opinion has persuasive value on a material issue and no published opinion would serve as well.UNITED STATES of America, Appellee,v.David BARRETT, Appellant.
No. 96-1799.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  Nov. 29, 1996.Filed:  Dec. 6, 1996.

Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
David Barrett challenges the 3-year sentence of probation imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to using a telephone to facilitate the distribution of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(b).  Counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and was granted leave to withdraw.  This court granted Barrett leave to file a pro se supplemental brief, which he has not done.  We affirm.


2
In his Anders brief, counsel relates that Barrett believes he was entrapped by a government witness and had the government told him of the witness's "informant" status, he would not have pleaded guilty, but would have gone to trial and presented an entrapment defense.  We conclude Barrett waived any entrapment defense by pleading guilty.  See Peoples v. United States, 412 F.2d 5, 7 (8th Cir.1969);  United States v. Riles, 928 F.2d 339, 342 (10th Cir.1991);  United States v. Sarmiento, 786 F.2d 665, 668 (5th Cir.1986).  Regardless, we do not believe Barrett could have prevailed on such a defense, because the evidence reflects he was predisposed to purchase methamphetamine from, and initiated contact with, the witness.  See United States v. Gullickson, 982 F.2d 1231, 1235 (8th Cir.1993) (to prove entrapment defense, defendant must show he was not predisposed to commit crime and government induced him to commit crime).


3
Having carefully reviewed the record, we have found no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.  See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988).


4
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
