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. No

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district
