PER CURIAM.
Kenneth Isaacs appeals the sentence the district court 1 imposed after he pleaded
guilty to conspiring to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute
hydromorphone, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. His counsel has moved to withdraw
and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). We reject
counsel’s suggestion that appellant’s prior federal conviction for escape should not
be considered a predicate offense for career-offender classification. See United States
v. Nation, 243 F.3d 467, 472-73 (8th Cir. 2001) (holding that escape is categorically

crime of violence). Having reviewed the record independently pursuant to Penson
v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly,
we affirm.
