                                                 MEMORANDUM*
SHAWN MICHAEL BALL,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Montana
                     Susan P. Watters, District Judge, Presiding

                           Submitted January 17, 2024**

Before:      S.R. THOMAS, McKEOWN, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

      Shawn Michael Ball appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges the revocation of his supervised release and sentence of 6 months’

imprisonment and 54 months’ supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ball’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.

Ball 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. Ball’s pro

se arguments are unavailing. Any request to modify the conditions of supervised

release must be directed to the district court. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(2).

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
