No. 08‐3434
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appeal from the United States District
Plaintiff‐Appellee, Court for the Northern District of Indiana,
Hammond Division.
v.
No. 07 CR 106
TERRANCE LITTLES,
Defendant‐Appellant. James T. Moody,
Judge.
O R D E R
Terrance Littles sold crack to an informant, and afterward the police searched him
and his truck and found more crack and the buy money, as well as guns, ammunition, and
marijuana. Facing a six‐count indictment, Littles agreed to plead guilty to one count of
possessing a firearm after a felony conviction, see 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). In exchange for that
plea and a written waiver of appeal, the government dismissed the other charges. Littles
already had a string of convictions that qualified him as an armed career criminal, and the
district court sentenced him to 180 months, the statutory minimum. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 924(e)(1). Littles filed a notice of appeal, but his appointed counsel now seeks to
No. 08‐3434 Page 2
withdraw because he cannot discern a nonfrivolous basis for appeal. See Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Littles opposes counsel’s submission. See CIR. R. 51(b).
Littles wants to challenge his prison sentence, but he does not seek to undermine his
guilty plea. Counsel thus appropriately omits any discussion about the adequacy of the
plea colloquy, see FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(b), or the voluntariness of the guilty plea. See United
States v. Knox, 287 F.3d 667, 670‐71 (7th Cir. 2002). And since the appeal wavier in the plea
agreement stands or falls with the guilty plea, United States v. Wilson, 481 F.3d 475, 483 (7th
Cir. 2007); United States v. Hare, 269 F.3d 859, 860‐61 (7th Cir. 2001), any appellate issue
concerning Little’s sentence would be frivolous.
Accordingly, we GRANT counsel’s motion to withdraw and DISMISS the appeal.
