   MEMORANDUM

Marvin Quemado, Jr. appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 166-month sentence for conspiracy to obstruct interstate commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951, obstructing interstate commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 1951, and using, carrying and discharging a firearm in relation to the robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 924(c)(1)(A). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Quemado’s 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 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, 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.
