                          Submitted December 14, 2021**

Before:      WALLACE, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

      Cemone Champagne Lewis appeals from the district court’s judgment

denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate his conviction and sentence.

as counsel of record. We have provided Lewis 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 briefing and record pursuant to Penson v.

Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses that the certified issue provides no basis

for appellate relief. See Graves v. McEwen, 731 F.3d 876, 880-81 (9th Cir. 2013).

         Lewis’s counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

         AFFIRMED.
