U.S.C. § 1326(a). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Moran-
Torres’ 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 the appellant 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
