UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Richard Steven RIESS, Defendant-Appellant, 376 F. App'x 775

MEMORANDUM Richard Steven Riess appeals from his jury-trial conviction and 24-month sentence for perjury, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1621 and falsely representing himself to be a citizen of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 911. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Riess’ counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Appellant has filed a pro se supplemental brief, but no answering brief has been filed. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v.

Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
