MEMORANDUM*
GUILLERMO ATONDO-CASTANEDA,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
David G. Campbell, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted August 18, 2014**
Before: HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges.
Guillermo Atondo-Castaneda appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 87-month sentence for conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine, in
violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 and 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(viii). Pursuant

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).
to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Atondo-Castaneda’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 Atondo-Castaneda the
opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or
answering brief has been filed.
Atondo-Castaneda has waived his right to appeal his conviction and
87-month 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.
