Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Gabriel Silva-Chavez appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 87-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), and 846.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Silva-Chavez's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief and moving to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Silva-Chavez 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, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
