United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 99-3870 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * District of Nebraska.

German Escorcia, also known as * Herman, also known as German * [UNPUBLISHED] Perez Escorcia, * * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: July 5, 2000 Filed: July 21, 2000 ___________ Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, BEAM, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

German Escorcia was found guilty of conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and the district court1 sentenced him to 121 months imprisonment and five years supervised release.

On appeal, Escorcia’s counsel has filed a brief and moved to withdraw pursuant to

The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Although Escorcia was granted permission to file a pro se supplemental brief, he has not done so. After review of counsel’s Anders brief, along with our independent review of the record in accordance with Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
