are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.
Ball has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No 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. Ball’s pro
se arguments are unavailing. Any request to modify the conditions of supervised

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
