PER CURIAM:

           Harold K. Reedom appeals from his conviction and sentence

following his guilty plea to willful failure to pay a child support

obligation in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 228 (2000).                  Reedom’s

counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738, 744 (1967) stating that there are no meritorious issues for

appeal, but asserting that the magistrate judge did not comply with

the requirements of Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 at the plea hearing and

that the sentence imposed was in violation of the law.            Reedom was

informed of his right to file a pro se brief, but has not done so.

           In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire

record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for

appeal.   We, therefore, affirm Reedom’s conviction and sentence.

This court requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of

his right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for

further review.    If the client requests that a petition be filed,

but counsel believes that 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

                                    - 2 -
