UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. WILLIAM EMORY McDOWELL, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION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 Western District of Washington
Ronald B. Leighton, District Judge, Presiding
Before: PREGERSON, LEAVY, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
William Emory McDowell appeals from the district court's order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for reduction of sentence. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), McDowell'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 McDowell 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.
