Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Cindy K. Jorgenson, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted December 19, 2012 **

Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

Jesus Tirado-Mata appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges

his guilty-plea conviction and 48-month sentence for reentry after deportation, in

violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

* 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). (1967), Tirado-Mata’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for

relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided

Tirado-Mata 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.
