Before:        CLIFTON, BEA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

       Richard V. Nguyen appeals from the revocation of supervised release and

12-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California,

          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
provided Nguyen 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.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
