   MEMORANDUM

Jose Gaspar-Ceballos appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 37-month sentence imposed for reentry of removed alien, 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), Gaspar-Ceballos’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, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Gaspar-Ceballos’s pro se motion for appointment of counsel is denied.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
