MEMORANDUM
April Jessica Cadez appeals from her guilty-plea conviction and 37-month sentence for possessing counterfeit currency of the United States with intent to defraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 472.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Cadez has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Cadez has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.
We have conducted an independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988). We affirm the conviction. In light of the brevity of the sentence, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing in light of United States v. Booker, — U.S.-,-, 125 S.Ct. 738, 769, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005) and United States v. Ameline, 400 F.3d 646, No. 02-30326, 2005 WL 350811 (9th Cir. Feb.9, 2005).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel on appeal is denied.
The conviction is AFFIRMED, and the sentence is VACATED and REMANDED.
