MEMORANDUM **

In these consolidated appeals, Eduardo Garcia-Cortez appeals his jury-trial conviction and 92-month sentence for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and the revocation of supervised release and consecutive 18-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Garcia-Cortez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Garcia-Cortez has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No answering brief has been filed.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

In his pro se brief, Garcia-Cortez contends that his counsel provided ineffective assistance. We decline to review this claim on direct appeal because this is not one of the “unusual cases where (1) the record on appeal is sufficiently developed to permit determination of the issue, or (2) the legal representation is so inadequate that it obviously denies a defendant his Sixth Amendment right to counsel.” United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1260 (9th Cir. 2011).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
