MEMORANDUM*

2

Daniel Meza aka Daniel Flores-Rivera appeals the district court's denial of his motion to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) for his jury conviction to conspiracy to possess and possession with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. Meza's counsel has submitted a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and a motion to withdraw as counsel. Because our review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no meritorious issues for review, we AFFIRM the district court's judgment and GRANT the motion of counsel to withdraw.1

**

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
