MEMORANDUM**

2

Antonio Cardenas-Pena appeals his sentence, following a plea of guilty, for one count of possession with intent to distribute and aiding and abetting the distribution of heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). The district court sentenced Cardenas-Pena to 60 months imprisonment and three years supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

3

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Cardenas-Pena filed a brief stating that he finds no issues for review and a motion to withdraw as counsel. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no issue for review.

4

Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment and grant the motion of Victor M. Chavez, Esq., to withdraw as counsel of record.

AFFIRMED.
