MEMORANDUM **

Cesar Valdez-Santos appeals from his jury-trial conviction and 207-month sentence for possession and distribution of a listed chemical with knowledge, and having reason to believe, that it would be used to manufacture methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(c)(2). Pursuant to *449Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Valdez-Santos’ 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 judgment is AFFIRMED.
