The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Lopez-Gonzalez’s counsel
has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to
withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Lopez-Gonzalez 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.
