    ANNETTE BENDER,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Central District of California
    R. Gary Klausner, District Judge, Presiding
    Submitted January 11, 2010 **
    Before:        BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
    Annette Bender appeals from her guilty-plea conviction and 84-month
    sentence for conspiracy to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846,
    841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B)(iii).

    This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
    except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
    **
    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    sko/Research
    Pursuant to Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    (1967), Bender’s counsel has
    filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw
    as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant the opportunity to file a pro
    se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been
    filed.
    Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
    , 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
    Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, appellant’s pro
    se motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED, and the district court’s
    judgment is AFFIRMED.
