OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Aldeaner Stoddard appeals from her conviction, pursuant to a

guilty plea, of one count of possession with intent to distribute crack

cocaine and aiding and abetting another in distributing crack cocaine

in violation of 21 U.S.C.A. § 841 (West 1981 & Supp. 1998) and 18

U.S.C. § 2 (1994). Stoddard's attorney has filed a brief pursuant to

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), certifying that Stoddard's

appeal does not present any meritorious issues. Counsel asserts that

the district court complied with Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 in taking Stoddard's guilty plea and properly determined her sentence under the

Sentencing Guidelines. Stoddard was informed of her right to file a

pro se supplemental brief and has not done so. Finding no reversible

error, we affirm.

The court properly determined that Stoddard was competent to

enter a plea and that she understood the charge against her. She was

informed of the maximum and minimum sentence and the possible

fine. Stoddard stated that she understood the court was obligated to

consider the applicable Sentencing Guidelines. The court also

reviewed the oral plea agreement with Stoddard. Stoddard stated that

she was not promised anything other than what was in the agreement.

She was informed of the rights she was waiving by entering a guilty

plea. After hearing from Stoddard and the Government, the court

found a sound factual basis for accepting the guilty plea.

The court also properly determined Stoddard's sentence. Because

Stoddard had two prior felony convictions of either a crime of violence or a controlled substance offense, her base offense level was 32.

See U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 4B1.1(C) (1995). She

received a three-level reduction in the offense level for acceptance of

responsibility. See USSG § 3E1.1. Because Stoddard was a career

offender, she was placed in Criminal History Category VI. See USSG

§§ 4B1.1. As a result, Stoddard's sentencing range was 151 to 188

months' imprisonment. She did not make any objections to the presentence investigation report. The court sentenced Stoddard to 151

months' imprisonment.

 2
Pursuant to the requirements of Anders, this court has reviewed the

record for potential error and has found none. Therefore, we affirm

Stoddard's conviction and sentence. This court requires that counsel

inform his client, in writing, of her right to petition the Supreme Court

of the United States for further review. If the client requests that a

petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be

frivolous, then counsel may move this court for leave to withdraw

from representation. Counsel's motion must state that a copy thereof

was served on the client. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
