21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(vii). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), Salgado-Rojas’ 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.
