UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. BENNY K. PANGELINAN, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 1:13-cr-00012-RVM MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of the Northern Mariana Islands
Ramona V. Manglona, Chief Judge, Presiding Before: SCHROEDER, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Benny Koyama Pangelinan appeals from the revocation of probation and 11-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Pangelinan'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 Pangelinan 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.
