MEMORANDUM
Shawn Michael Ball appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges the revocation of his supervised release and sentence of 6 months' imprisonment and 54 months' supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ball's counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
