UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-4619

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

QUANMAINE DA-SHON BROWN, a/k/a Quan,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Florence. R. Bryan Harwell, District Judge.
(4:13-cr-00843-RBH-3)

Submitted: March 23, 2015 Decided: April 1, 2015

Before SHEDD, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jeffrey Mikell Johnson, Eutawville, South Carolina, for
Appellant. Alfred William Walker Bethea, Jr., Assistant United
States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

Quanmaine Da-Shon Brown pleaded guilty to conspiracy to

possess with intent to distribute and distribute cocaine and

cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2012). The

district court sentenced Brown to 120 months of imprisonment and

he now appeals. Appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), concluding that there

are no meritorious issues for review. Finding no error, we

affirm.

We have thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that

the district court committed no error in accepting Brown’s

guilty plea and sentencing Brown to the statutory mandatory

minimum term of imprisonment. The court complied with the

requirements of Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 in accepting Brown’s guilty

plea and we conclude that Brown’s plea was knowing and

voluntary. We further conclude that the sentence is

procedurally and substantively reasonable. See Gall v. United

States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).

We have examined the entire record in accordance with the

requirements of Anders and have found no meritorious issues for

appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district

court. This court requires that counsel inform Brown, in

writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the

United States for further review. If Brown requests that a

2
petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition

would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for

leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must

state that a copy thereof was served on Brown. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
