Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 940 F.2d 663 (6th Cir. 1991) July 31, 1991

Before GUY, Jr. and RYAN, Circuit Judges, and HULL, Chief District Judge.* 

ORDER

This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Joan Gray pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit the unauthorized use of a credit card in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029(b) (2). The district court sentenced Gray to a twelve (12) month term of imprisonment and this appeal followed. Appellate counsel for Gray has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief following the dictates of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and Sixth Circuit Rule 12(d). Joan Gray has submitted a brief in her own behalf.

Upon consideration, we find no error in the case on review. The district court's actions in rejecting an earlier plea agreement were proper under Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 as well as our decision in United States v. Kemper, 908 F.2d 33, 37 (6th Cir. 1990). The sentence meted out was justified by the facts before us and reflected the district court's consideration of Gray's family ties and responsibilities. See U.S.S.G. Sec. 5H1.6.

Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted and the district court's judgment is affirmed. Rule 9(b) (3), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
