The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 46-month sentence for reentry of a
removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Ramirez-Matias’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 Ramirez-Matias the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Ramirez-Matias waived his right to appeal his conviction and 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.
