WEIS, Circuit Judge.
Defendant pleaded guilty to a one count indictment charging him with selling
counterfeit United States currency in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 472. During an interview
with a probation officer following the plea, defendant gave an incorrect name, social
security number, and birthdate. In addition, defendant falsely denied having a prior criminal
record.
At sentencing, the district judge applied an obstruction of justice
enhancement, denied a reduction because of acceptance of responsibility, and imposed a
period of twelve months incarceration.
On appeal, defense counsel filed an Anders brief, which we have carefully
reviewed along with the other matters of record. Defendant did not file a pro se brief.
We conclude that the District Court did not err. Accordingly, the judgment
of the District Court will be affirmed.
The motion of defense counsel to withdraw will be granted.
