    Appeal from the United States District Court

    Susan R. Bolton, District Judge, Presiding
    Submitted September 27, 2011 **
    Before:        HAWKINS, SILVERMAN, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
    Alejandro Verdugo-Felix appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and
    78-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or
    more of cocaine, in violation of 
    21 U.S.C. §§ 841
    (a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), 846.
    Pursuant to Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967), Verdugo-Felix’s counsel
    *
    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).
    has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to
    withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant 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.
