Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Rafael Madrigal appeals from: (1) his guilty-plea conviction and 130-month sentence for illegal reentry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a); (2) his guilty-plea conviction and concurrent 120-month sentence for unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm, in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 5841 and 5861(d); and (3) the order of forfeiture under 26 U.S.C. § 5872 and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). Pursuant to Anders v. Califor *719 nia, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Madrigal’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. A supplemental brief and answering brief have 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.
