Text: 45 In order to be relieved pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), an appellant's counsel must conscientiously examine the case, identifying any issues that could arguably be raised on appeal. See McCoy v. Court of Appeals of Wisconsin, 486 U.S. 429, 438-39, 108 S.Ct. 1895, 1901-02, 100 L.Ed.2d 440 (1988). This Court will not grant an Anders motion unless it is satisfied that (1) counsel has diligently searched the record for any arguably meritorious issue in support of his client's appeal and (2) defense counsel's declaration that the appeal would be frivolous is, in fact, legally correct. United States v. Burnett, 989 F.2d 100, 104 (2d Cir.1993). 46 We grant counsel's Anders motion and the government's motion for summary affirmance because we believe that Lopez's case presents no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Counsel's Anders brief addresses Lopez's plea allocution and sentence, as well as the argument that § 1959 violates the Commerce Clause. Counsel correctly concludes that none of these events present any non-frivolous issues for appeal. 47 We have considered all of appellants' additional arguments and find them to be without merit. 48 Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
