MEMORANDUM *
ANTONIO RUIZ-CAMPOS,

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Washington
Franklin D. Burgess, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted May 25, 2010 **
Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Antonio Ruiz-Campos appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 84-month
sentence for conspiracy to distribute cocaine base and distribution of cocaine base,
in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A). Pursuant to Anders v.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ruiz-Campos’ counsel has filed a brief stating
there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. We have provided the appellant with 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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
