Brenda Ann Stacker pleaded guilty to a fraud offense, and was sentenced by the district court1 to 4 years of probation. On appeal, counsel for Stacker seeks to The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the court abused its discretion by failing to convert Stacker’s felony conviction into a misdemeanor. We reject this argument as legally unfounded.

Having reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues. Therefore, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, subject to his informing Stacker about procedures for seeking rehearing or filing a petition for certiorari. The judgment is affirmed. ______________________________
