intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1),
(b)(1)(A)(viii), 846, and unlawful reentry by a deported, removed, or excluded
alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), Carrillo-Martinez’s counsel has filed briefs stating that there are no
grounds for relief, along with motions to withdraw as counsel of record. Carrillo-
Martinez has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No answering brief has been filed.
Carrillo-Martinez waived his right to appeal his convictions and sentences.
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 waivers. See United
States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We accordingly dismiss
these appeals. See id. at 988.
To the extent Carrillo-Martinez argues in his pro se brief that counsel
provided ineffective assistance, we decline to address this issue on direct appeal.
See United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 2011).
Counsel’s motions to withdraw are GRANTED.
Appeal Nos. 14-10354 and 14-10358 DISMISSED.
