FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 12-10061 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 4:11-cr-02278-DCB v. MEMORANDUM * JOSE RICARDO TORRES-PEREZ, a.k.a.

Pedro Garcia-Perez, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona David C. Bury, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 14, 2013 ** Before: SCHROEDER, GRABER, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

Jose Ricardo Torres-Perez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his jury-trial conviction and 63-month sentence for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.

* 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).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Torres-Perez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Torres-Perez 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. Torres-Perez’s motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.

AFFIRMED.
