challenges his jury-trial conviction and 180-month sentence for being a felon in

possession of ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(e).

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.

      Orona’s request for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.

      AFFIRMED.
