United States v. Leonel Marin-Torres

702 F. App'x 645

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Leonel Marin-Torres appeals from the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582 motion to reduce his sentence. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Marin-Torres’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 Marin-Torres the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Marin-Torres’s sentence because of his extensive record of violence before and after his sentence was imposed. In addition, our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
