    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 03-4407

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    GREGORY PETER HANSEN,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of North Carolina, at Asheville.
    Lacy H. Thornburg,
    District Judge. (CR-01-90)

    Submitted:

    December 11, 2003

    Decided:

    December 19, 2003

    Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior


    Circuit Judge.

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Andrew B. Banzhoff, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellant. Jerry


    Wayne Miller, Thomas Richard Ascik, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES
    ATTORNEY, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Gregory Peter Hansen pled guilty pursuant to a written plea
    agreement to three counts of bank robbery, in violation of 18
    U.S.C. 2113(a)(2000).

    He was sentenced to 135 months in prison.

    Hansens appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to


    Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), raising only the issue
    of whether Hansen received ineffective assistance of counsel in
    relation to his guilty plea and stating that, in his view, there
    are no meritorious grounds for appeal.*

    Though notified of his

    opportunity to do so, Hansen did not file a pro se supplemental


    brief.
    In addition to the one issue raised by appellate counsel,
    pursuant to Anders, we have reviewed the entire record in this case
    and find no meritorious issues for appeal.

    We therefore affirm

    Hansens convictions and sentence. This court requires that counsel


    inform his client, in writing, of his right to petition the Supreme
    Court of the United States for further review.

    If the client

    requests that a 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.

    Counsels motion must

    state that a copy thereof was served on the client.

    We dispense

    with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

    The Government has elected not to file a brief.


    2

    adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument


    would not aid the decisional process.

    AFFIRMED
