UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Frank WILKS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 12-2424.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: April 2, 2014.
    Filed: May 9, 2014.
    Thomas S. Rea, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Saint Louis, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Jeffrey Alex Goldfarb, Jeffrey A. Gold-farb, Saint Louis, MO, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Frank Wilks, Brueeton Mills, WV, pro se.
    Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Frank Wilks appeals the sentence imposed on him after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).

Counsel has moved to withdraw, filing a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Counsel argues that the district court erred in determining that Wilks’s 1993 Missouri escape-from-custody conviction was a violent felony for section 924(e) purposes. Wilks also alleges that the court failed to explain how it applied the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors in determining the sentence and did not give adequate weight to Wilks’s physical and mental health problems.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is denied. The case is remanded for further consideration in light of United States v. Tucker, 740 F.3d 1177 (8th Cir.2014) (en banc).
