NOT FOR PUBLICATION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 Central District of California
S. James Otero, District Judge, Presiding
Before: LEAVY, TALLMAN, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Jack Benny Williams appeals his 18-month sentence imposed for selling counterfeit currency of the United States with intent to defraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 473. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Williams'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 Williams 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, 80-81, 109 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
