The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(I). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
Sanchez’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along
with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Sanchez with
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, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. We
dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d
1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2000).
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
