v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Sanchez’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 the appellant with 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.
