Jose Luis Garcia De Leon appeals from the district court's judgment imposing a 280-month sentence following remand under United States v. Ameline, 409 F.3d 1073 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Garcia De Leon has filed a brief stating that he finds no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Our examination of the brief and our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82-83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), disclose no grounds for relief on direct appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
