v.

MEMORANDUM *

MIGUEL TZUNUX-RUIZ, a.k.a. Miguel Tomas-Santos,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Raner C. Collins, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted July 17, 2012 **

Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

Miguel Tzunux-Ruiz appeals from his jury-trial conviction and 70-month

sentence for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Tzunux-Ruiz’s counsel has filed a brief

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel

of record. We have provided the appellant 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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district

court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
