Arevalo-Contreras

MEMORANDUM **

Alejandro Arevalo-Contreras pleaded guilty to one count of illegally reentering the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 (a). His counsel filed this appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our task is to determine whether there are any grounds for reversal or modification of the district court’s judgment.
