                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Central District of California
                     Virginia A. Phillips, District Judge, Presiding

                              Submitted March 16, 2010**

possess with intent to distribute phencyclidine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.

yy 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and 846, and 18 U.S.C. y 2(a).

        Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Jefferson's counsel

has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to

withdraw as counsel of record. Appellant has filed a pro se supplemental brief, but

no answering brief has been filed.

        Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.

75, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

        Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district

court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
