Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
Miguel Lopez-Ruiz appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 21-month
sentence for unlawfully re-entering the United States following deportation, in
violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 and eluding examination and inspection by
immigration officials, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a). Pursuant to Anders v.

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).
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Lopez-Ruiz’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 motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
