Before:        FARRIS, LEAVY, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Magdalena Santana Ramirez appeals from her guilty-plea conviction and 70-

month sentence for possession of an unregistered firearm, in violation of 26 U.S.C.

§ 5861(d). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ramirez’s

counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion

to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant with 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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

      Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district

court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
