MEMORANDUM **

Marshall Charles Richmond appeals from the district court’s orders denying his pro se motions for a new trial and to set aside the verdict.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Richmond’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. The appellant has filed a pro se supplemental brief, and no 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.

*337Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
