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 Northern District of California
William B. Shubb, District Judge, Presiding
The Honorable William B. Shubb, Senior United States District Judge for the Eastern District of California, sitting by designation.
Before: RAWLINSON, MURGUIA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.
Donnell Hatcher appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 240-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Hatcher's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Hatcher 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.
