       Eduardo Munoz-Medina appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and

22-month sentence for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

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.
