MEMORANDUM **

Adrian Ruiz-Amedo appeals his conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, and sentence for being a deported alien found in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

Ruiz-Almedo’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. Ruiz-Amedo 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.
