 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 116 F.3d 487 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted June 3, 1997. **Decided June 5, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, No. CR-95-40043-1-SBA; Saundra B. Armstrong, District Judge, Presiding.

Before: NORRIS, LEAVY and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Elwood Nolden, Jr. appeals his guilty plea conviction and the sentence imposed for unarmed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). Nolden's attorney has filed a brief stating that she finds no issues for review and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our examination of counsel's brief, Nolden's pro se brief and our independent review of the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), disclose no issues requiring review.

Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the district court's judgment.

AFFIRMED.
