    Angel Luis Perez, Jr. (defendant) appeals his judgment dated 6 April 2004, entered consistent with his guilty plea for failure to register as a sexual offender.
    On 2 February 2004, defendant was indicted for failure to register as a sexual offender. This matter came before the 5 April 2004 criminal session of Carteret County Superior Court with the Honorable Jack W. Jenkins presiding. On 6 April 2004, defendant pled guilty to the charge of failing to register as a sex offender and was sentenced to a term of 21 - 26 months imprisonment . The sentence was suspended and defendant was placed on supervised probation for 36 months. Defendant appeals.

Anders Brief
    Counsel appointed to represent defendant has been unable to identify any issue with sufficient merit to support a meaningful argument for relief on appeal and asks that this Court conduct its own review of the record for possible prejudicial error. Counsel has also shown to the satisfaction of this Court that he has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967), and State v. Kinch, 314 N.C. 99, 331 S.E.2d 665 (1985), by advising defendant of his right to file written arguments with this Court and providing him with the documents necessary for him to do so. On 25 January 2005, defendant filed written arguments with this Court. However, defendant fails to make any cogent arguments in his brief.
    Furthermore, we note defendant is not entitled to review of his conviction since he pled guilty. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1444(a) (2003). Defendant is also not entitled to review of his sentence since he was sentenced in the presumptive range. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1444(a1) (2003). Thus, defendant's right to appellate review is limited to a review of whether the sentence imposed resulted from an incorrect calculation of defendant's prior record level. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1444(a2) (2003). However, defendant does not seek review of his pri or record level calculation.    (See footnote 1) 
     In addition to defendant's brief and supplemental filing,this Court has reviewed the record for other possible prejudicial error and has found none.
    No error.
    Judges ELMORE and GEER concur.
    Report per Rule 30(e).

Footnote: 1
     In a separate filing dated 18 May 2005 defendant appears to argue his sentence was in error because New York, not North Carolina, law should govern his sentence such that under New York law he would receive a one year sentence instead of the 21 to 26 month term imposed by the court. This argument is without merit.
