MEMORANDUM **

Alejandro Saucedo-Virgen appeals from his jury-trial conviction and six concurrent 60-month sentences for bringing in illegal aliens for financial gain, and aiding and abetting, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(ii), and 18 U.S.C. § 2, and bringing in illegal aliens without presentation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a) (2) (B) (iii). Pursuant to Anders v. *160 California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Saucedo-Virgen’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Our independent review of 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 arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

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