JOSE MANUEL RODRIGUEZ-
ALVAREZ,

               Defendant - Appellant.


                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                     Susan R. Bolton, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted February 21, 2012**

Before:        FERNANDEZ, McKEOWN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Alvarez appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and

30-month sentence imposed for re-entry of a removed alien, in violation of 8

U.S.C. y 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Rodriguez-


          *
             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).
Alvarez'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 Rodriguez-

Alvarez 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.

      Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
