   MEMORANDUM

Arik Alan MacBlane appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 86-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. Pursuant to Anders v. Cali fornia, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), MacBlane’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. MacBlane has filed a pro se supplemental brief. 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.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
