Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Montana
Richard F. Cebull, Chief District Judge, Presiding
Submitted March 8, 2011 **
Before: FARRIS, LEAVY, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
R.C., a juvenile male, appeals from an order in which the district court
adjudged him to be a juvenile delinquent and sentenced him to five years detention
based on violations of 18 U.S.C. § 2242(2)(B) (sexual abuse) and 18 U.S.C.
§ 1153(a) (offense committed within Indian country). Pursuant to Anders v.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), R.C.’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.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s order
is AFFIRMED.
