OPINION OF THE COURT
STAPLETON, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Raseen Wright was indicted for possession of a firearm by a convicted
felon. He was convicted by a jury and sentenced to 78 months of imprisonment. This
appeal followed.
Officer Poliard saw Wright, whom he had known for approximately five years,
firing a handgun. Wright dropped the handgun and fled. Officer Poliard saw him drop
the handgun and then gave chase. He ultimately overtook Wright, arrested him, and
returned to the original site to take custody of the firearm. At the time of his arrest,
Wright had been convicted of a felony.
Appellant’s counsel has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), and requested permission to withdraw. Our review of the record has
found no non-frivolous ground that could be urged as a basis for reversal. The evidence
provided ample support for the jury’s verdict.
We will affirm the judgment of the District Court and grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw.
