United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Alfonso Rafeki Brooks, Defendant-appellant, 53 F.3d 340 (9th Cir. 1995)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Alfonso Rafeki Brooks appeals his sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines imposed following his guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1). Brooks' counsel has filed a brief asserting that Williams has no meritorious issues for review and has requested permission to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no meritorious issues for review. The district court did not clearly err in finding that the two kilograms of cocaine possessed by Brooks were not a small amount of drugs and in denying, on that basis, a minimal role reduction under U.S.S.G. Sec. 3B1.2(a). See United States v. Liu, 941 F.2d 844, 849 (9th Cir. 1991).

Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the district court's judgment is

AFFIRMED.
