MICHEL MARTINEZ,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Arizona
                     Raner C. Collins, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted March 3, 2020**

      Michel Martinez appeals from the district court’s denial, after remand, of his

motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Amendment

withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Martinez 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.

      The government’s motion to allow late filing of its Anders letter is denied as

unnecessary.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED.
