United States v. Roberta Staley, 469 F. App'x 539 (9th Cir. 2012)

United States v. Roberta Staley

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Roberta Cabanaz Staley appeals from her guilty-plea conviction for health care fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1347, for which she was sentenced to three years of probation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Staley’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds *540 for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant 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.
