Given the lack of merit in the issue identified in Appellant’s initial merits brief as originally filed and the absence of any plain error in the district court’s acceptance of Appellant’s guilty plea, we find it unnecessary to reach the motions filed by Appellant’s counsel in a belated attempt to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED, and all pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT.
