Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Jose Sanchez-Gonzales, a/k/a Jesus Sandoval, pled guilty to illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), and possessing with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of a mixture or substance containing marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(l)(B)(vii). The district court sentenced him to concurrent prison terms of 24 months on the illegal-reentry count and 120 months on the drug count, to be followed by concurrent supervised-release terms totaling 8 years. On appeal, counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967).
We find no plain error in the court's acceptance of the guilty plea. See United States v. Vonn, 535 U.S. 55, 58-59, 122 S.Ct. 1043, 152 L.Ed.2d 90 (2002). Further, we have reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and we find no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
. The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
