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).
846 and 841(b)(1)(A)(viii). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
Lopez-Diaz’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 Lopez-
Diaz the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental
brief or answering brief has been filed.
Lopez-Diaz has waived his right to appeal his conviction and 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.
