§§ 922(g)(1) & 924(a)(2). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
Clark’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 with the
opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. Clark’s letter, received on March
10, 2010, is deemed filed. We construe the letter as 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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
