 CLARA INES CARRION-RAMIREZ,

               Defendant - Appellant.



                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Central District of California
                     Andrew J. Guilford, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted February 16, 2010 **

        Clara Ines Carrion-Ramirez appeals from her guilty-plea conviction and 37-

month sentence imposed for illegal reentry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

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, we affirm the district court’s judgment.

       In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062

(9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it

delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to § 1326(b)(2). See United States

v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte to

delete the reference to § 1326(b)).

       Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s

judgment is AFFIRMED but REMANDED.
