United States v. Enriquez-Montano

MEMORANDUM ^**

Jesus Antonio Enriquez-Montano appeals from the 63-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Enriquez-Montano’s 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 the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. We construe the document received March 12, 2008, as a motion to file a late pro se supplemental brief as well as a pro se supplemental brief. So construed, the motion to file a late pro se supplemental brief is granted. The Clerk shall file the pro se supplemental brief received on March 12, 2008.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (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.
