___________ No. 96-1343 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the v. * Western District of Missouri. * [UNPUBLISHED] Beverly Day, * * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: June 6, 1996 Filed: June 11, 1996 ___________ Before McMILLIAN, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Beverly Day pleaded guilty to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute, and criminal forfeiture, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 853. On appeal, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738(1967), suggesting that the district court erred by denying Day a three-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility. We affirm. Day's recommended Guidelines sentencing range was 78 to 97 months' imprisonment. At sentencing, the district court1 granted the government's downward-departure motion under U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1, p.s., and 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e), and sentencing Day to 30 months' imprisonment and three years' supervised release. Because Day's sentence represents a downward departure from the Guidelines sentencing range that would result even if she were granted the 1 The Honorable Russell G. Clark, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. acceptance-of-responsibility reduction, we conclude that her sentence is unreviewable. See United States v. Baker,
64 F.3d 439, 441 (8th Cir. 1995); United States v. Wyatt,
26 F.3d 863, 864 (8th Cir. 1994) (per curiam).2 In accordance with Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we have reviewed the record to look for any nonfrivolous issues and have found none. The judgment is affirmed. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. 2 In any event, we note that Day's use of amphetamine and methamphetamine while on bond was a proper basis to deny the acceptance-of-responsibility reduction.

46 F.3d 42, 43 (8th Cir.), cert. denied,
115 S. Ct. 2261(1995). -2-
