DRS/Research
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Villa-Hernandez’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 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.

         The record discloses that the appellant pleaded guilty without a plea

agreement. Accordingly, we remand to the district court for the limited purpose of

correcting the judgment to delete the reference to a plea agreement and appeal

waiver. The district court’s judgment is affirmed in all other respects. Counsel’s

motion to withdraw is granted.

         AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct judgment.
