The Honorable J. Michael Seabright, United States District Judge for
the District of Hawaii, sitting by designation.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Medrano-Cruz’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 Medrano-Cruz the opportunity
to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief
has been filed.
Medrano-Cruz has waived his right to appeal the sentence imposed upon
revocation of supervised release. 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).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
