MEMORANDUM* OMAR LUCAS, a.k.a. Oski,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of California

Roger T. Benitez, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted December 17, 2013** Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.

Omar Lucas appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 10-year term of supervised release imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for distribution of crack cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Lucas’s counsel has filed a brief stating

*

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). that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Lucas 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.

AFFIRMED.
