   MEMORANDUM

Luis Alvarez-Rodriguez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his jury-trial conviction and 70-month sentence for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and making a false claim to United States citizenship, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 911. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Alvarez-Rodriguez’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 Alvarez-Rodriguez 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, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
