MEMORANDUM **

Marcus Bridges appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 84-month sentence for use of a communication facility to facilitate a drug trafficking offense in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(b), and failure to report a felony in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 4. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Bridges’ counsel has filed a brief stating that he finds no meritorious issues for review, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Our examination of the briefs and our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), disclose no arguable issues for review on direct appeal.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and, in light of the appeal waiver, the appeal is DISMISSED.
