challenges his guilty-plea convictions and 105-month concurrent sentences for

being a felon in possession of firearms, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).

a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw

as counsel of record. We have provided Walters the opportunity to file a pro se

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.

         Walters’s motion for judicial notice and counsel’s motion to withdraw are

GRANTED.

         AFFIRMED.
