NOT FOR PUBLICATION
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 the Northern Mariana Islands
Ramona V. Manglona, Chief Judge, Presiding
Before: CANBY, IKUTA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.
Hui Qiang Yan appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the three-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to unlawfully produce and transfer an identification document, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028(a)(1), (a)(2), and (f). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Yan'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 Yan 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.
