§ 1326(a).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Molina-Hernandez’s
counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion
to withdraw as counsel of record. The appellant has not filed a pro se supplemental
brief, but he has submitted a letter requesting appointment of new counsel. No
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 Molina-
Hernandez’s request for new counsel is DENIED.
DISMISSED.
