   MEMORANDUM

Robert Morrison appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 16-month sentence for one count of failure to pay child support, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 228(a)(3). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Morrison has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Morrison has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no grounds for relief. We therefore GRANT counsel’s motion to withdraw and AFFIRM the district court’s judgment.

AFFIRMED.
