PER CURIAM.
On November 18, 2003, a jury found Crystal Lee Fredericks guilty of
possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance–five grams or more of
methamphetamine. The district court 1 sentenced Fredericks to sixty-three months'
imprisonment, with a four-year term of supervised release. This appeal followed.
This case was submitted to the court pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967). Fredericks' counsel moves to withdraw, arguing that there exists no

appealable issues in this case and that Fredericks no longer wishes to pursue her
appeal.
Having carefully reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80
(1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. Further, we find no dispute with the
assertions of Fredericks' counsel concerning Fredericks' own wishes. Accordingly,
we affirm and grant counsel's motion to withdraw.
