JUAN DE DIOS BURGOS-MUNGUIA,
a.k.a. Juan de Dios Burgos-Monguia,              MEMORANDUM*

               Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                   Timothy M. Burgess, District Judge, Presiding**

                           Submitted December 9, 2014***

Before:        WALLACE, LEAVY, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       In these consolidated appeals, Juan de Dios Burgos-Munguia appeals from

the district court judgments and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 36-

          **  The Honorable Timothy M. Burgess, United States District Judge for
the District of Alaska, sitting by designation.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
month sentence for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, and

his revocation of supervised release and four-month sentence imposed upon

revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Burgos-

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

along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.

      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 with

respect to the revocation of supervised release or the conviction. We, therefore,

affirm the revocation of Burgos-Munguia’s supervised release in Appeal No. 13-

10600, and his conviction in Appeal No. 13-10601.

      The district court, in a consolidated sentencing proceeding, failed to address

Burgos-Munguia personally to ask if he wanted to speak before sentencing. See

Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(i)(4)(A)(ii), 32.1(b)(2)(E). Because the court could have

imposed a lower sentence than the one it imposed, this omission was plain error.

See United States v. Daniels, 760 F.3d 920, 925-26 (9th Cir. 2014). Accordingly,

we vacate and remand for resentencing in both appeals.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is denied without prejudice to renewal in the

district court if counsel does not wish to represent Burgos-Munguia at his

resentencing.
