See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Chad Lee Sheridan appeals his sentence for five counts of

possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation

of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(C) (2000) and one count of

possession of ammunition as a convicted felon, in violation of 18

U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2), 924(e) (2000). The court sentenced

Sheridan to thirty months’ imprisonment.        The court also specified

an identical alternative sentence of thirty months pursuant to this

court’s recommendation in United States v. Hammoud, 378 F.3d 426

(4th Cir. 2004), opinion issued by, United States v. Hammoud, 381

F.3d 316 (4th Cir. 2004), cert. granted, judgment vacated, 125 S.

Ct. 1051 (2005).     Sheridan’s attorney filed a brief pursuant to

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that he has

reviewed the record, researched the issues raised by Sheridan, and

has found them to have no merit.        In his Anders brief,       Sheridan’s

attorney raised several issues related to the district court’s

calculation of Sheridan’s sentence. Although informed of his right

to do so, Sheridan has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.

Sheridan was also afforded the opportunity to address the impact of

United States v. Booker, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005), on his case in a

supplemental brief, and he has not done so.

           In accordance with the requirements of Anders, we have

reviewed   the   entire   record   in   this   case   and   have    found   no

meritorious issues for appeal.      Accordingly, we affirm Sheridan’s

                                   - 2 -
sentence.    This court requires counsel inform his client, in

writing, of his right to petition the Supreme Court of the United

State for further review.   If the client requests a petition be

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

then counsel may move in 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

                              - 3 -
