and (b)(1)(A)(ii)(II). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
Robles-Lopez’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief,
along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Robles-
Lopez the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental
brief or answering brief has been filed.
Robles-Lopez has waived his right to appeal his sentence. Our independent
review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses
no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582
F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We accordingly dismiss the appeal. See id. at
988.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
