Clerk 

No. 90-2274 

(D.C. No. CR-90-318-JP) 

(District of New Mexico) 

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before McKAY, SEYMOUR, and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

The parties have agreed that this case may be submitted for 

decision on the briefs. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f); 10th Cir. R. 

34.1.2. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral 

argument. 

This is an appeal of defendant's sentence entered after a 

plea of guilty. He was sentenced to the statutory maximum of 

eighteen months which is below the otherwise applicable Guideline 

range of thirty-seven to forty-six months. He directed his 

counsel to appeal his sentence even though he was advised that 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

there was no legal basis for appeal. In the Anders v. California, 

386 U.S. 738 (1978), brief filed by counsel, he carefully reviewed 

the sentencing process and the applicable sentencing guidelines. 

As the law requires in such cases, counsel correctly advised the 

court that there was no legal basis for appeal. 

Having reviewed the matter, we conclude that the sentence was 

lawfully imposed and AFFIRM the judgment and sentence given by the 

trial court. Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
