             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Hurtado-

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

with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Hurtado-Botello has filed a pro se

supplemental brief. No 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.
