Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Heidi Welch appeals from the revocation of supervised release and the five-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Welch's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Welch with 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.
Counsel's motion requesting a ruling from the court on her motion to withdraw is denied as moot.
AFFIRMED.
