Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Steven Ritchard Scott appeals from the aggregate 61-month sentence imposed upon re-sentencing following a successful 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Scott's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Scott filed a pro se supplemental brief, contending that the district court erred in calculating his criminal history category and, by extension, the applicable advisory guidelines range.
Contrary to Scott's contention, the record reflects that the district court correctly calculated two criminal history points under U.S.S.G. § 4A1.1(b) for Scott's 2002 forgery conviction for which the state court imposed a sentence of 90 days imprisonment. See United States v. Schomburg, 929 F.2d 505, 507 (9th Cir.1991). Moreover, 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 on direct appeal.
Scott's urgent motion to expedite the case is denied as moot.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
