738 (1967), Jasso-Casillas’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.
