UNITED STATES v. FOURSTAR (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

In these consolidated appeals, Victor Charles Fourstar, Jr., appeals from the revocations of supervised release and 6-month sentence imposed upon his second revocation to be followed by 49 months of supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Fourstar’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Fourstar has filed multiple pro se supplemental briefs. We have considered all of the arguments raised in the supplemental briefs, as well as in Fourstar’s motion for alternate counsel. No 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 in these direct appeals.

We decline to address on direct appeal Fourstar’s pro se 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. Fourstar’s pro se motion for alternate counsel is DENIED.

AFFIRMED.
