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. Nason has filed a
pro se brief, and no 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.
