challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for possession of

sexually explicit images of a minor, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(4)(B),

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 Goodwin the opportunity to file

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.
