v.
MEMORANDUM*
KATHERYN ELIZABETH SHERMAN,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Montana
Brian M. Morris, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted August 31, 2015**
Seattle, Washington
Before: GOODWIN, GOULD, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.
Katheryn Elizabeth Sherman appeals her sentence on her conviction,
pursuant to a guilty plea, for conspiracy to submit false claims against the United
States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 286.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Sherman’s attorney has moved to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting that there are no non-frivolous grounds to appeal.
Sherman filed a pro se supplemental brief. The government filed no answer brief.
Because our independent review of the record indicates that the plea
agreement, including the waiver of the right to appeal, was entered knowingly and
voluntarily, United States v. Aguilar-Muniz, 156 F.3d 974, 976 (9th Cir.1998), we
enforce the waiver, GRANT counsel’s motion to withdraw, and DISMISS the
appeal.
DISMISSED.
