2 16-30008
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Meighan’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 Meighan 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.
