MEMORANDUM

**

Cesar Daniel Alvarado Canas appeals his conviction by guilty plea and sentence for illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Canas’ 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 Canas with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. The appellant has filed a pro se supplemental brief, and no answering brief has been filed.

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.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
