PER CURIAM:
Dimarco Antonio Alexander pled guilty to possession with
intent to distribute five or more grams of cocaine base and using
or carrying a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking crime.
He was sentenced to 120 months on the possession charge and sixty
months consecutive for the firearm offense. He now appeals. His
attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), alleging that the sentence is unreasonable but
stating that there are no meritorious issues for review. Alexander
was advised of his right to file a supplemental brief; however, he
did not file such a brief. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
We find that Alexander’s sentence, imposed within the
properly calculated advisory guideline range and applicable
statutory limits, is reasonable. See United States v. Hughes, 401
F.3d 540, 546 (4th Cir. 2005).
We have examined the entire record in this case in
accordance with the requirements of Anders, and we find no
meritorious issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm. This court
requires 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, counsel may move
in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s
motion must state that a copy of the motion was served on the
- 2 -
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
