Petrus
United States v. Petrus
Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
John Petras appeals his conviction and 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to conspiracy to manufacture controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Petrus’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no arguable issues for review, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Petrus has filed a pro se supplemental brief.
Our examination of the briefs and independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 , 109 S.Ct. 346 , 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), disclose no issues warranting review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. 1
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
. We decline to review any ineffective assistance of counsel claims on direct appeal. See United States v. Hanoum, 33 F.3d 1128 , 1131—32 (9th Cir.1994). In addition, we decline Petrus’s request to impose sanctions on appellate counsel.
