52 F. App'x 314

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Jamie URIAS, Jr., also known as Valentin Medelez, Appellant.

No. 02-1344.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Submitted Dec. 8, 2002.

Decided Dec. 11, 2002.

Before MCMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

*315PER CURIAM.

Jamie Urias, Jr., pleaded guilty to intentionally distributing 50 or more grams of a mixture containing methamphetamine, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B) (2000). The District Court1 sentenced him to the ten-year mandatory minimum term of imprisonment and eight years of supervised release.

On appeal, counsel has filed a brief and moved to withdraw under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing the guilty plea was not taken in compliance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 because Urias was not adequately informed of the statutory mandatory minimum sentence. Having carefully reviewed the plea transcript, we conclude there was no plain error because the magistrate judge2 repeatedly informed Urias of the mandatory minimum and Urias indicated he understood it. See United States v. Vonn, 535 U.S. 55, 122 S.Ct. 1043, 1046, 152 L.Ed.2d 90 (2002). We have further reviewed the record independently pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm. We also grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
