FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 07-30318

Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. CR-07-05051-FDB

v. MEMORANDUM * ANTONIO RUIZ-CAMPOS,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Franklin D. Burgess, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted May 25, 2010 **

Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Antonio Ruiz-Campos appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 84-month

sentence for conspiracy to distribute cocaine base and distribution of cocaine base,

in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A). Pursuant to Anders v.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ruiz-Campos’ 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 the appellant with 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, 80-81 (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.
