   MEMORANDUM

Agapito Cortez appeals from the sentence imposed after remand, for his conviction by jury trial for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846(a)(1).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Cortez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no meritorious issues for review, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Cortez has not filed a supplemental pro se brief.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988) discloses no issues for review. 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 provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
