Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Javier Beltran appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 51-month sentence for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 . Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Beltran’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. We have considered Beltran’s pro se supplemental brief and the government’s motion to dismiss.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81 , 109 S.Ct. 346 , 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
We deny the government’s motion to dismiss.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir.2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to 8 U.S.C. § 1326 (b)(2). See United States v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir.2000)…
