    PER CURIAM:
    Alvaro Caycedo appeals from a district court sentence for
    escape from a prison camp. Counsel filed a brief in accordance with
    Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967). Caycedo was notified of
    his right to file an additional brief, and he has not done so. We
    affirm.
    Caycedo's counsel claims on appeal that the district court
    erred in finding that prison camps were not sufficiently similar to
    community centers or halfway houses such that the offense level re-
    duction provided by United States Sentencing Commission, Sentencing
    Guidelines, § 2P1.1(b)(3) (Nov. 1994), should apply. We find no
    error in the district court's determination. See, e.g., United
    States v. Stalbaum, 
    63 F.3d 537
    , 540 (7th Cir. 1995). Further, in
    accordance with the requirements of Anders, we have reviewed the
    entire record and have found no non-frivolous basis for appeal.
    Therefore, we affirm the district court 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 frivo-
    lous, 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
    2
    the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
    decisional process.
    AFFIRMED
