DAT/Research 09-10080 2
of 18 U.S.C. § 641. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we
affirm.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Sallem’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.
