   MEMORANDUM

Ruben Andrade-Casales appeals from his jury-trial conviction and 63-month sentence for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Andrade-Casales’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. A pro se supplemental brief and an answering brief have been filed.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

All pending motions are DENIED.

AFFIRMED.
