Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 2:08-cr-01156-AHM v. BLANCA RENDON, MEMORANDUM *

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California

A. Howard Matz, District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 25, 2010 **

Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Blanca Rendon appeals from her guilty-plea conviction and three-month sentence for forged endorsement on treasury check, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 510(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

*

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Rendon’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 Rendon 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 (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.
