386 U.S. 738 (1967), Yanez-Martinez’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are
no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We
have provided the appellant with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
With respect to both cases, we dismiss the appeals in light of the valid
appeal waivers. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2000).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeals are
DISMISSED.
