MEMORANDUM
Elijah John Buchanan appeals from his jury-trial conviction and 24-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute approximately 50 kilograms or more of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(C), and 846, and for possession with intent to distribute approximately 50 kilograms or more of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Buchanan'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 Buchanan 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.
