   MEMORANDUM

Alvaro Vargas-Hidalgo appeals his 92-month sentence imposed by the district court following his conviction of being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Vargas-Hidalgo’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), and has moved to withdraw as counsel of record. VargasHidalgo 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 judgment is AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
