relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided
Kimura 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 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.
We decline to address on direct appeal Kimura’s claim of ineffective
assistance of counsel. See United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th
Cir. 2011).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
