MEMORANDUM*
RAFAEL QUIROZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
Dale A. Drozd, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 26, 2020**
Before: McKEOWN, RAWLINSON, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.
Rafael Quiroz appeals from the district court’s order denying his motions for
a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Amendment 782, for return
of property under Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g), and to set aside forfeiture under 18
U.S.C. § 983(e) and Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(e). Pursuant to Anders v. California,
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Quiroz’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no
grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Quiroz
has filed pro se supplemental opening and reply briefs, and the government has
filed an answering brief.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
