                               (D.C. No. 03-cr-00678-4)

                                      ___________

             BEFORE: McKEE, NYGAARD, and SILER,* Circuit Judges.

                               (Filed: November 6, 2008)

        *The Honorable Eugene E. Siler, Jr., Senior Circuit Judge for the United States
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting by designation.
                                       ___________

                               OPINION OF THE COURT
                                    ___________

SILER, Circuit Judge.

       Appellant, Marc Sykes, entered into a plea agreement with the Government,

whereby he agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute over 50 grams

of cocaine and over 500 grams of cocaine powder. The District Court sentenced him to

166 months’ incarceration. We will affirm.

       Because we write exclusively for the parties who are familiar with the facts and the

proceedings below, we will not revisit them here. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), Sykes’s counsel has examined the record, concluded that there are no

non-frivolous issues for review, and has requested permission to withdraw.

       We, too, have thoroughly examined the record and can find no non-frivolous

issues to be raised in this appeal. Hence, we will affirm the judgment of the District

Court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.

                                             2
