UNITED STATES of America, v. Domingo VALENTIN, Appellant.
    No. 03-1094.
    United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
    Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) Jan. 29, 2004.
    Decided Feb. 19, 2004.
    George S. Leone, Sabrina G. Comizzoli, Office of United States Attorney, Newark, NJ, for Appellee.
    Domingo Valentin, Fairton, NJ, for Appellant.
    Before NYGAARD and FUENTES, Circuit Judges, and O’NEILL, District Judge.
    
      
       Honorable Thomas N. O’Neill, Jr., Senior District Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, sitting by designation.
    
   OPINION OF THE COURT

FUENTES, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Domingo Valentin pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute at least five kilograms of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841, 846. The District Court sentenced Valentin to 120 months imprisonment, which was the statutory minimum for his offense. Valentin filed a notice of appeal, pro se, and we appointed Michael E. Riley, Esq., to assist with the appeal. Attorney Riley filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Counsel indicated that there are no non-frivolous issues for appeal.

We have carefully reviewed the Appellant’s brief, along with the responsive brief of the United States and other matters of record. Valentin did not file a pro se responsive brief. We conclude, after our own review of the entire record, that the District Court did not err. Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court will be affirmed, and the motion of defense counsel to withdraw will be granted.
