-- 1 of 2 --

386 U.S. 738 (1967), Murrillo Lopez’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 Murrillo Lopez the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Murrillo Lopez 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.
