Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Francisco Javier Andrade-Alvarado appeals from the 84-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Andrade-Alvarado's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.
Andrade-Alvarado filed a pro se supplemental brief, contending that the district court erred in failing to grant him a one-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. § 3El.l(b). The government filed an answering brief contending that the district court did not err because the government did not move for an additional one-level reduction and Andrade-Alvarado did not show improper motive or arbitrariness.
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 as to the defendant's conviction.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
