of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B)(vii). Pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Juarez’s counsel has filed a brief stating

record. We have provided Juarez 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.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
