Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 4:10-cr-00920-CKJ

v.

MEMORANDUM *

ERIC TORNEZ-GALEANA, a.k.a. Eric Tornez, Jr.,

Defendant - Appellant.

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

Submitted April 16, 2013 **

Before: CANBY, IKUTA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

Eric Tornez-Galeana appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges the 63-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for

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

* 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). California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Tornez-Galeana’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 Tornez-Galeana 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, see 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.
