OPINION

1
Lovansa Yolanda Roach appeals her conviction and sentence for conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine base (crack), 21 U.S.C. Sec. 846 (1988), 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1) (1988), and 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1)(A) (1988), and possession with intent to distribute crack, 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1) and 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1)(B) (1988).  Roach's attorney has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), alleging that there are no meritorious issues for appeal.  Roach was notified of her right to file an additional brief, but has not done so.

2
In accordance with the requirements of Anders, we have examined the entire record in this case and find no meritorious issues for appeal.  There was sufficient evidence upon which to base the finding of Roach's guilt, and her sentence was the result of a proper application of the sentencing guidelines.  We therefore affirm the district court.  Pursuant to the plan adopted by the Fourth Circuit Judicial Council in implementation of the Criminal Justice Act of 1964 (18 U.S.C.A. Sec. 3006A (West Supp. 1992)), this Court requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of her right to petition the Supreme Court for further review.  If requested by her client to do so, counsel should prepare a timely petition for a writ of certiorari.

3
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the record and briefs, and oral argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
