intent to distribute marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and
(b)(1)(B)(vii).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Gonzales’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 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.
