MEMORANDUM*

VICTOR M. GONZALEZ VAZQUEZ,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Richard A. Jones, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted February 19, 2019**

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

Victor M. Gonzalez Vazquez appeals from the district court’s order granting

in part, and denying in part, his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence

reduction. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Gonzalez

Vazquez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief,

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided

Gonzalez Vazquez 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.
