se supplemental briefs, 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.

      Majidi’s motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.

      AFFIRMED.
