UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. CESAR CRUZ-ROBLES, a.k.a. Jose Perez-Martinez, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 2:14-cr-00254-LDG MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
Lloyd D. George, District Judge, Presiding Before: GOODWIN, LEAVY, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Cesar Cruz-Robles appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 51-month sentence for being a deported alien found unlawfully in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Cruz-Robles's counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Cruz-Robles has filed a pro se supplemental brief, and the government has filed an answering brief.
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.
