United States v. Keith Jeromeo Milton
Opinion
Susan Good Yazgi, appointed appellate counsel for Keith Milton in this direct criminal appeal, has filed a motion to withdraw on appeal and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). An independent review of the record reveals no issue of arguable merit for us to consider on appeal. Therefore, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Milton’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. We do note a clerical error in the judgment, however. The written judgment states that Milton was convicted of possessing cocaine base with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), but Milton was convicted of distributing cocaine base under that statute. We therefore VACATE AND REMAND for the limited purpose of entering a judgment in conformity with the indictment and Milton’s plea.
