MEMORANDUM*

2

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.

3

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

AFFIRMED.

**

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
