Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the District of Arizona

G. Murray Snow, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted February 21, 2012 ** Before: FERNANDEZ, McKEOWN and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

Rosendo Rodriguez-Zetina appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 41- month sentence for being found in the United States after removal, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Rodriguez-Zetina’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief,

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

**

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 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.
