MEMORANDUM
Jesus Palafox-Armenta appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 46-month sentence for illegal re-entry after deportation, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), enhanced by (b)(2).
Pursuant to Anders v.

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.
