MEMORANDUM**

Raul Tapia-Escoto appeals his conviction by jury trial and his 46-month sentence for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Tapia-Escoto’s counsel has submitted a brief stating that he has found no meritorious issues for review. Appellant has not filed a supplemental pro se brief.

Our independent review of the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346,102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no issues requiring further review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
