Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 977 F.2d 592 (9th Cir. 1992) Submitted Sept. 22, 1992. *Decided Sept. 28, 1992

Before GOODWIN, D.W. NELSON and REINHARDT, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Antonio Cardenas-Pena appeals his sentence, following a plea of guilty, for one count of possession with intent to distribute and aiding and abetting the distribution of heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1). The district court sentenced Cardenas-Pena to 60 months imprisonment and three years supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Cardenas-Pena filed a brief stating that he finds no issues for review and a motion to withdraw as counsel. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no issue for review.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment and grant the motion of Victor M. Chavez, Esq., to withdraw as counsel of record.

AFFIRMED.
