mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341, and two counts of aggravated identity
theft, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028A.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Woolridge’s counsel
has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to
withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Woolridge 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
