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), Alvarez’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 Alvarez 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.
