United States v. Ramey

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
United States v. Ramey, 91 F. App'x 282 (4th Cir. 2004)

United States v. Ramey

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Rodney Tyrone Ramey pled guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a) (2000). The district court sentenced him to 120 months in prison. Ramey timely appealed.

Ramey’s counsel has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), stating that, in his view, there are no meritorious grounds for appeal. However, he raises the issue of whether the district court complied with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in accepting Ramey’s guilty plea. After reviewing the transcript of the plea proceeding, we conclude that the district court fully complied with the requirements of Rule 11 in accepting Ramey’s guilty plea.

Ramey has filed a pro se supplemental brief. We have considered his claims and find them to be without merit.

In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore affirm Ramey’s conviction and sentence. This court requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of his 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.

*283 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
