   MEMORANDUM

Santos Hatfield appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 92-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Hatfield’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Hatfield has filed a pro se supplemental opening brief and a pro se reply brief, and the government has filed an answering brief.

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.
