Mario Chavez-Andrades appeals his 168-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Chavez-Andrade’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no arguable issues for review, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.
