United States v. Rocha-Valenzuela

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Roberto Rocha-Valenzuela appeals his conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, and sentence for distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and (b)(l)(iii).

Rocha-Valenzuela’s 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 has moved to withdraw as counsel of record. Rocha-Valenzuela did not file a pro se supplemental brief. Because our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), reveals no arguable issues, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm the conviction and sentence.

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.
