MEMORANDUM**

Abel Valdez-Castro appeals the 57-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). His attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Valdez-Castro has not filed a supplemental pro se brief. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no issue for appeal.

Accordingly, we GRANT the motion to withdraw as counsel of record for appellant and the district court’s judgment is

AFFIRMED.
