PER CURIAM.

Halbert Bell pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm, having previously been convicted of three violent felonies, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(e)(1). The district court1 sentenced him to 180 months' imprisonment (the statutory minimum) and three years' supervised release. On appeal, Bell's counsel has filed a brief and moved to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

1 The Honorable James Maxwell Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Although Bell 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 non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we grant counsel's motion to withdraw.
