                    Appeal from the United States District Court

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a), (b)(1), (b)(2). Pursuant to

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ho’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 Ho 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 as to Ho’s

lifetime term of supervised release or the conditions of supervised release.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
