GREGORY ALAN GRIMALDO,

               Defendant - Appellant.


                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of California
                   Garland E. Burrell, Jr., District Judge, Presiding

                           Submitted December 9, 2015**

Before:        WALLACE, RAWLINSON, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.

      Gregory Alan Grimaldo appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges the 18-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Grimaldo’s counsel has

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
withdraw as counsel of record. Grimaldo has filed a pro se supplemental brief, and

the government has filed an answering brief.

      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.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      Grimaldo’s pro se motion for bail pending appeal is DENIED as moot.

      AFFIRMED.
