MEMORANDUM *

Martin Ibarra-Garcia appeals from the judgment imposed following a jury-trial *778conviction for being an alien found in the United States, 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), Ibarra-Garcia’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Ibarra-Garcia filed a pro se supplemental brief, and the Government filed an answering brief.

Our independent review of the briefs and the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81,109 S.Ct. 346,102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
