Before: FERNANDEZ, SILVERMAN, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.

Alfredo Miranda-Hernandez appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 18-month sentence for attempted illegal

reentry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Miranda-Hernandez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there

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.
