MEMORANDUM*
RAYMUNDO SANCHEZ-NANES, a.k.a.
Armando Pacheco, a.k.a. Enrique Perez-
Ovando,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Susan R. Bolton, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted April 17, 2019**
Before: McKEOWN, BYBEE, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.
Raymundo Sanchez-Nanes appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 24-month sentence for reentry of a
removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California,
*
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).
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Sanchez-Nanes’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 Sanchez-Nanes the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Sanchez-Nanes waived his right to appeal his conviction and 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.
