    v.
    MEMORANDUM*
    HECTOR FRANCISCO ORTIZ, Jr., a.k.a.
    Hector Eduardo Ortiz, Jr.,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the District of Arizona
    James A. Teilborg, Senior District Judge, Presiding
    Submitted December 2, 2015**
    Before:        HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges.
    Hector Francisco Ortiz, Jr. appeals from the district court’s judgment and
    challenges his guilty-plea convictions and concurrent 120-month sentences for
    violating 
    18 U.S.C. § 1956
    (h) and 
    21 U.S.C. §§ 841
    (a)(1), (b)(1)(B)(vii) and 846.
    *
    This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
    except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
    **
    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    He also challenges his conviction and consecutive 60-month sentence for violating
    
    18 U.S.C. § 924
    (c)(1)(A)(i). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    (1967), Ortiz’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief,
    along with a motion to withdraw as counsel. Ortiz has filed a pro se supplemental
    brief. No answering brief has been filed.
    Ortiz has waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Because
    the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waiver, we
    dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 
    582 F.3d 974
    , 986-88 (9th Cir.
    2009).
    Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
    DISMISSED.
