UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Artiom ALABILIKIAN, Defendant-Appellant.
MEMORANDUM **
Artiom Alabilikian appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea convictions and aggregate 47-month sentence for conspiracy to commit bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349; bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344; conspiracy to unlawfully possess access devices, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029(b)(2); unlawful possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029(a)(3); and aggravated identity theft, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028A(a)(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Alabilikian’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Alabilikian 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, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal as to Alabilikian’s conviction and sentence, with the exception of the three supervised release conditions discussed below.
Standard conditions five, six, and fourteen are unconstitutionally vague. See United States v. Evans, 883 F.3d 1154, 1162-64 (9th Cir. 2018). We remand for the district court to modify these conditions consistent with our opinion in Evans.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED; REMANDED with instructions.
