                                                  MEMORANDUM *
JUAN PASILLAS-MANRRIQUEZ,

               Defendant - Appellant.

                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Central District of California
                     Stephen G. Larson, District Judge, Presiding

                               Submitted April 5, 2010 **

Before:        RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

       Juan Pasillas-Manrriquez appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 51-

month sentence for being an illegal alien found in the United States following

          *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967), Pasillas-Manrriquez’s counsel has filed a brief stating there

are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.

We have provided the appellant with 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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.

      In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062

(9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it

delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to § 1326(b)(2). See United States

v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte to

delete the reference to § 1326(b)).

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, the district court’s judgment

is AFFIRMED but REMANDED.

                                           2                                     08-50285
