MEMORANDUM**

2
Nicolas Palafox-Cuen appeals his conviction and 24-month sentence following a guilty plea for illegal reentry after a felony conviction in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(1).  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Palafox-Cuen's counsel filed a brief stating that he finds no meritorious issues for review, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.  Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no issue for review.  Accordingly, the motion of counsel to withdraw is GRANTED and the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
