MEMORANDUM **

Salvador Jamaica-Arellano appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 70-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute at least 50 grams of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Jamaica-Arellano’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 ac *424 cordingly dismiss the appeal. See id. at 988. 1
