guilty-plea conviction and 36-month sentence for reentry of a removed alien, in

violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and the revocation of supervised release and

consecutive 12-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Garcia-Avitia’s counsel has filed a brief stating

that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of

record. We have provided Garcia-Avitia 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

         Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

         AFFIRMED.
