MEMORANDUM**


2
Jaime Gustavo Gomez-Aceves appeals his guilty plea conviction and sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines for possession of heroin with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1).  Gomez-Aceves's counsel, the Federal Public Defender, has submitted a brief pursuant to  Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.  Because our independent review of the record pursuant to  Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no meritorious issues for review, we AFFIRM the district court's judgment and GRANT the motion of counsel to withdraw.

 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4
