PER CURIAM.

In this direct criminal appeal, Emmanuel Herron (Herron) challenges the district

court’s1

 judgment entered upon a jury verdict finding Herron guilty of drug and

firearm offenses. Herron’s counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the admission of evidence

derived from a warrantless entry. Because Herron did not file a motion to suppress

in the district court, we are “not in a position to intelligently and responsibly” conduct

plain error review of the matter. See United States v. Wenner, 417 F.2d 979, 981-82

-2-

(8th Cir. 1969) (refusing to consider a Fourth Amendment argument asserted for first

time on appeal; noting the plain error rule should be applied with caution, not

liberally, and should be invoked only to avoid a clear miscarriage of justice).

Having reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75,

80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.

We affirm the judgment of the district court, and we grant counsel’s motion to

withdraw.
