                   Appeal from the United States District Court

Before:        O’SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

      Juan Manuel Fernandez appeals from the district court’s order denying his

28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),

Fernandez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief,

along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided

          *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Fernandez 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.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
