United States v. Lewis Settles
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Lewis Lee Settles appeals from the 180-month aggregate sentence imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for drug and firearm crimes. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Settles’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. 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, 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. 1
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
. Appellant’s December 30, 2011, motion requesting leave to file late supplemental excerpts of record is GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to file Settles’s supplemental excerpts of record received on December 14, 2011.
