1Opinion of the Court
WILSON, Circuit Judge:
Derek Lee Thomas is a federal prisoner serving a 192-month sentence for drug and weapons offenses. Relying on Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Thomas’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief on direct appeal in which he argued that Thomas had no basis for an appeal, and requested leave to withdraw. Thomas then filed his own pro se brief raising various issues, but we affirmed, pursuant to Anders, stating that our independent review of the entire record revealed no arguable issues of merit. The Supreme Court denied certiorari.
