OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Jeffrey Sneed appeals his 82-month sentence imposed by the district court following his guilty plea to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2) (2000). Counsel has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Additionally, Sneed has filed a pro se supplemental brief. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.

In counsel’s Anders brief, Sneed contends the district court erred in calculating his sentencing guidelines’ range. As Sneed raised no objection below, we review this claim for plain error. United States v. General, 278 F.3d 389, 394 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 536 U.S. 950, 122 S.Ct. 2643, 153 L.Ed.2d 821 (2002). We find no error, plain or otherwise, in the district court’s calculation of Sneed’s guidelines’ range.

In his pro se supplemental brief, Sneed argues the district court erred in determining his base offense level and that his Speedy Trial rights were violated. We find these arguments to be without merit. Pursuant to Anders, we have reviewed the record and find no error. Accordingly, we affirm Sneed’s sentence. This court requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of his right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for fur ther review. If the client requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes 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 the client. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
