VIDAL MUNGUIA-MAYORQUIN, a.k.a. 
Antonio Mebreno, a.k.a.  Abel Rodriguez,

                Defendant-Appellant. 

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Arizona
                    G. Murray Snow, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted July 10, 2018**

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

      Vidal Munguia-Mayorquin appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 20-month sentence for reentry of a

removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.  Pursuant to Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967), Munguia-Mayorquin’s counsel has filed a brief stating that


      *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. 
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument.  See Fed.  R. App.  P. 34(a)(2). 
there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of

record.  We have provided Munguia-Mayorquin 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. 

         Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. 

         AFFIRMED.
