PER CURIAM.
Martin Hernandez-Gomez appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed upon
his guilty plea to illegal reentry following deportation after conviction for an
aggravated felony, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He also appeals the revocation
of his supervised release and imposition of an additional term of imprisonment. On
appeal, counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v.

-2-
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the district court plainly erred by
revoking Hernandez-Gomez’s supervised release without making a formal finding of
guilt.
We conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review counsel’s argument, because
Hernandez-Gomez filed a notice of appeal in only the illegal-reentry case, and not the
supervised-release case. See Fed. R. App. P. 3(a)(1) (appeal of right may be taken
only by filing notice of appeal with district court).
We have reviewed the record in the illegal-reentry case independently under
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), and we find no nonfrivolous issues.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, we affirm the district court’s
judgment as to the illegal-reentry conviction, and we dismiss Hernandez-Gomez’s
appeal of the revocation of his supervised release.
