* The Honorable Joseph E. Irenas, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey, sitting by designation.

1 WEIS, Circuit Judge.

Defendant pleaded guilty to a one count indictment charging him with selling

counterfeit United States currency in violation of

. During an interview

with a probation officer following the plea, defendant gave an incorrect name, social

security number, and birthdate. In addition, defendant falsely denied having a prior criminal

record.

At sentencing, the district judge applied an obstruction of justice

enhancement, denied a reduction because of acceptance of responsibility, and imposed a

period of twelve months incarceration.

On appeal, defense counsel filed an Anders brief, which we have carefully

reviewed along with the other matters of record. Defendant did not file a pro se brief.

We conclude that the District Court did not err. Accordingly, the judgment

of the District Court will be affirmed.

The motion of defense counsel to withdraw will be granted.
