Michael R. Hogan, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted September 27, 2011 **

Before: HAWKINS, SILVERMAN, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Justin Douglas Nason appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and

180-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18

U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), 924(e). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967), Nason’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief,

*
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).
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. Nason has filed a

pro se brief, and no 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, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district

court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
