       Antonio Warren Gantt appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and

188-month sentence for armed and assaultive bank robbery, in violation of 18

motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant with 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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s

judgment is AFFIRMED.

      Gantt’s pro se motion to dismiss the appeal is denied as moot.
