Rosemary Márquez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted April 11, 2022**
Before: McKEOWN, CHRISTEN, and BRESS, Circuit Judges.
Mario Farfan Amador appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 18-month sentence for attempted reentry
of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Amador’s counsel has filed a brief stating that
*
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).
there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. We have provided Amador 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
