-- 1 of 2 --

386 U.S. 738 (1967), Frankson’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no
grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have
provided Frankson 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
Frankson’s pro se motion filed May 9, 2014, to relieve counsel and for
permission to file his own brief is DENIED as unnecessary.
AFFIRMED.
