*1 Before: HAWKINS, McKEOWN, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

Niam Doan appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 150-month sentence imposed for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841 (b)(1)(A) & 846, and felon in possession of a firearm in violation of *2 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Doan has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. No pro se or government brief has been filed.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio , 488 U.S. 75, 83-84 (1988), discloses no grounds for relief on direct appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

AFFIRMED.
