   MEMORANDUM

Emilio Rangel-Cortez appeals his conviction and 61-month sentence following a guilty plea to an illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Rangel-Cortez’s attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), stating that she finds no viable issues to raise on Rangel-Cortez’s behalf. RangelCortez did not file a pro se supplemental brief.

Having conducted an independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we conclude that there are no arguable appellate issues. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the district court’s judgement is AFFIRMED.
