Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Alberto Torres pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and possess with
intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, in violation of
21 U.S.C. § 846. The district court1 sentenced him to 210 months’ imprisonment and
5 years’ supervised release. Torres did not appeal. The government later filed a
motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(b) to reduce the sentence.
The district court granted the motion and reduced Torres’s sentence to 120 months’
imprisonment and 5 years’ supervised release.

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
       On appeal, counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 

(1967). In pro se submissions, Torres claims ineffective
assistance of counsel, but any such claim should be raised in a motion pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2255. See United States v. Lee, 

, 654 (8th Cir. 2004), cert.
denied, 

(2005). Having reviewed the record independently under
Penson v. Ohio, 

, 80 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and deny
Torres’s request for new appellate counsel.
