MEMORANDUM**

Mercedes Josefina Zavala-De Maradiaga appeals her sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines imposed following her guilty plea to importation of heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 952(a)(1). Zavala De-Mariaga's counsel, the Federal Public Defender, has submitted a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Because our independent review of the record discloses no meritorious issues for review, counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the district court's judgment is

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
