Appeal from the United States District Court

David C. Bury, District Judge, Presiding
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Submitted April 20, 2011 **
Before: RYMER, THOMAS, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
Victor Gonzalez-Cuevas appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 51-
month sentence for illegal reentry following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C.
§ 1326. He also appeals from the four-month sentence imposed upon revocation of
supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
Gonzalez-Cuevas’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 motions for ruling are denied as moot.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district
court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
