   MEMORANDUM

Walter Mitchell Stewart, Jr., appeals from the revocation of supervised release and seven-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Stewart’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We grant Stewart’s pro se motion to file a second, supplemental brief. We have considered Stewart’s multiple pro se filings as well as the arguments raised in his motion to withdraw counsel. No answering brief has been filed.

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

To the extent that Stewart seeks to raise a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, we decline to. address this issue on direct appeal. See United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 2011).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. Stewart’s pro se motion to withdraw counsel and to appoint new counsel is DENIED.

AFFIRMED.
