PEDRO CORNEJO,

               Defendant - Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the District of Montana
                 Donald W. Molloy, Senior District Judge, Presiding

Before:        HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges.

      Pedro Cornejo appeals from the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. Pursuant to Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967), Cornejo’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no

          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
provided Cornejo the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se

supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

      Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
