OPINION

Jackie Denise Cureton appeals the district court’s order sentencing her to thirty months imprisonment following her guilty plea to two counts of uttering forged securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 513(a) (2000), and two counts of making false statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001, 1014 (2000).

Cureton’s counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), in which she states there are no meritorious issues on which to base an appeal, but asserts Cureton’s desire to challenge the district court’s refusal to award her an adjustment for acceptance of responsibility. Cureton was advised of her right to file a pro se brief, but she did not do so.

We review a sentencing court’s evaluation of acceptance of responsibility under the clearly erroneous standard. United States v. Ruhe, 191 F.3d 376, 388 (4th Cir. 1999). After receiving testimony at the sentencing hearing, the district court concluded that Cureton had continued to engage in criminal activity after her guilty plea. Continuing criminal activity is the antithesis of acceptance of responsibility and is an appropriate consideration in the denial of credit for the same within the scope of the sentencing guidelines. See United States v. Franks, 46 F.3d 402, 406 (5th Cir. 1995); United States v. Panadero, 7 F.3d 691, 694 (7th Cir. 1993).

Our review of the record discloses substantial evidence on which the district court could properly base its conclusion. Furthermore, we have examined the entire record in this case in accordance with the requirements of Anders and find no meritorious issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.

This court requires that counsel inform her client, in writing, of her right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If the client requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on the client. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
