We decline to review Serrano-Perez’s ineffective assistance of counsel1
claim because the record is not sufficiently developed to permit review on direct
appeal. See United States v. Leasure, 319 F.3d 1092, 1099 (9th Cir. 2003).
2 11-50058
been previously removed, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Serrano-Perez’s counsel has filed a brief stating
there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. Appellant has filed a pro se supplemental brief.
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.1
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
