consecutive 72-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 3147(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Johnson’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no
grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have
provided Johnson 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
