Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Lopez-Roque’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. Lopez-Roque has filed a supplemental brief A supplemental answering brief has not been filed.

*662 Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.

In light of the foregoing, Lopez-Roque’s “motion for direct notification by court to appellant” and the government’s motion for summary affirmance are DENIED.
