William Edward Jones, III, appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm not registered to him in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), and to possessing with intent to distribute a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Jones’s counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738(1967), 1 The Honorable Scott O. Wright, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. questioning whether the court erred in accepting Jones’s guilty plea and in imposing a sentence within the Sentencing Guidelines range. Upon our independent review under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues. While the district court did not fully comply with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, any errors made by the court did not affect Jones’s substantial rights. See United States v. Vonn,
535 U.S. 55, 58-59 (2002); United States v. Olano,
507 U.S. 725, 734-35 (1993); United States v. Prado,
204 F.3d 843, 846 (8th Cir.), cert. denied,
531 U.S. 1042(2000). Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm. ______________________________ -2-
