See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).  Drake’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Drake has not filed a pro se supplemental brief. Our independent review of the record, see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no non-frivolous arguments to be made on direct appeal. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. AFFIRMED. 2 24-6789
