without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
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 Windley the
opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or
answering brief has been filed.
Windley waived his right to appeal his 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.
