month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386

U.S. 738 (1967), Herrera-Arteaga’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 Herrera-Arteaga 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 these direct appeals.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
