OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Glenn Albert Stewart, Jr., appeals his sentence imposed after he
pled guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). Stew-
art's attorney has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), raising one issue but stating that, in
her view, there are no meritorious issues for appeal. Although he was
informed of his right to do so, Stewart has not filed a pro se supple-
mental brief. We affirm.
The presentence investigation report (PSR) recommended that
Stewart be treated as an armed career criminal under the Armed
Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e) (1994), because he had three
prior convictions for burglary. The district court adopted the PSR's
recommendation, and sentenced Stewart to 180 months' imprison-
ment. See 18 U.S.C. § 924(e). Stewart's counsel raises the issue of
whether the district court erred in adopting the probation officer's
determination that two of Stewart's three prior burglary convictions
were offenses committed on different occasions and not part of a sin-
gle criminal episode for purposes of sentencing Stewart under
§ 924(e).
Because counsel failed to object to the district court's application
of § 924(e) at sentencing, we review for plain error. See Fed. R. Crim.
P. 52(a); United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732 (1993). Stewart
was convicted of felony burglary on December 7, 1989. On June 2,
1993, Stewart was sentenced on two felony convictions for burglary.
Although Stewart was sentenced for these two offenses at the same
time, these two convictions were charged separately and arose out of
two distinct burglaries that Stewart committed on different days, on
two different residences, and on two different victims. Because the
two burglaries occurred at different geographic locations on different
2
days and involved two distinct victims and residences, the district
court did not plainly err in treating the burglaries as separate offenses
for purposes of determining sentence under 18 U.S.C.§ 924(e). See
United States v. Hobbs, 136 F.3d 384, 386-88 (4th Cir.), cert. denied,
___ U.S. ___, 66 U.S.L.W. 3800 (U.S. June 22, 1998) (No. 97-9187);
United States v. Letterlough, 63 F.3d 332, 334-37 (4th Cir. 1995).
As required by Anders, we have examined the entire record and
find no other meritorious issues for appeal. Because the record dis-
closes no reversible error, we affirm Stewart's sentence. This court
requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of his right to peti-
tion 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 conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
