MEMORANDUM
Manuel Luna-Maldonado appeals his guilty plea conviction and 87 month sentence for one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A) and 846.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Luna-Maldonado has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Luna-Maldonado has not filed a pro se supplemental brief. The government has not filed a responding brief.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no grounds for relief. Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
