MEMORANDUM***
Guidelines section 5G1.1(b) requires that, should application of the guidelines result in a sentence below the statutory minimum, the statutorily mandated minimum shall be the guideline sentence.

We grant defense counsel's request to withdraw, see Anders v California, 386 US 738 (1967), and affirm the sentence imposed by the district court.
AFFIRMED.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
