No. 2:14-cr-00021-RMP-3 v. KORY ANTHONY JOSEPH HALL, a.k.a. MEMORANDUM* Kory AJ Hall, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington Rosanna Malouf Peterson, District Judge, Presiding Submitted February 2, 2017** Before: HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges. Kory Anthony Joseph Hall appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his 100-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute oxycodone hydrochloride, in violation 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. Pursuant to Anders v. * 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). California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Hall’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed. Hall has waived his right to appeal his 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. 2
