MEMORANDUM**

Richard Alvarado appeals his 121-sentence imposed following entry of a guilty plea to distributing cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Alvarado's counsel filed a brief that presents no meritorious issues for review. Counsel also filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no issue for review. Accordingly, the motion of counsel to withdraw is GRANTED and the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.

* The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
