United States v. Jose Gonzalez Arias

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Gonzalez Arias appeals from the district court’s amended judgment and challenges the 120-month concurrent sentences imposed on remand following his jury-trial convictions for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute narcotics, and unlawful use of a communication facility, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 843(b), and 846, and guilty-plea conviction for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Arias’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 Arias 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, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Counsels motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
