United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Edmundo Rocha-brenes, Defendant-appellant, 40 F.3d 1247 (9th Cir. 1994)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Edmundo Rocha-Brenes appeals his sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines imposed following his guilty plea to being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Rocha's counsel has filed a brief asserting that Rocha has no nonfrivolous issue on appeal and has requested permission to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Rocha has filed a pro se motion for appointment of new counsel. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83 (1988), discloses no nonfrivolous issues for review.

Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw as counsel of record is GRANTED, Rocha's pro se motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED, and the district court's judgment is

AFFIRMED.
