PER CURIAM.
Elias Zamarripa pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and possess with

Having reviewed the record independently pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488
U.S. 75 (1988), we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court and grant counsel’s motion
to withdraw.
