MEMORANDUM * JIMMY LOWELL ROBERTS,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Larry A. Burns, District Judge, Presiding Submitted April 5, 2010 **

Before: RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

Jimmy Lowell Roberts appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 100-month sentence for bank robbery, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 2113(a). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Roberts’ counsel has filed a brief

*

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