Rocha-Valenzuela

MEMORANDUM **

Roberto Rocha-Valenzuela appeals his conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, and sentence for distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 (a)(1) and (b)(l)(iii).

Rocha-Valenzuela’s attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and has moved to withdraw as counsel of record. Rocha-Valenzuela did not file a pro se supplemental brief. Because our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84 , 109 S.Ct. 346 , 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), reveals no arguable issues, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm the conviction and sentence.

AFFIRMED.
