Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Artemio Salgado Guadarrama appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for distribution of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Guadarrama has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Guadarrama has not filed a pro se supplemental brief, and the government has not filed an answering 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.
