Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Alex Urrutia-Vera appeals his conviction by guilty plea and sentence for being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Urrutia-Vera's attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and a motion to withdraw on the ground that she failed to discover any arguable issues on appeal. Urrutia-Vera did not file 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 arguable issues. We therefore GRANT counsel's motion to withdraw and AFFIRM the district court's judgment.
