MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Marvin E. Aspen, District Judge, Presiding
The Honorable Marvin E. Aspen, Senior United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois, sitting by designation.
Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
Librado Alvarez-Bajo appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 78-month sentence for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Alvarez-Bajo's counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Alvarez-Bajo the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
