MEMORANDUM*
Roberto Juarez-Reyes appeals the sixty-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction to illegal reentry by a previously deported aggravated felon, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. His attorney has filed a brief stating that he can identify 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, Juarez-Reyes's supplemental pro se brief, and our independent review of the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), disclose no issues for review.
Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the district court's judgment.
