-- 1 of 2 --

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Cruz-Robles’s counsel has filed a brief
stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as
counsel of record. Cruz-Robles has filed a pro se supplemental brief, and the
government has filed an answering brief.
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.
AFFIRMED.
