to commit money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(B)(i), (h), and
concurrent 120-month sentence for conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal
aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii), (iii), (v)(I). Pursuant to Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Vasquez-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 Vasquez-Lopez the opportunity to file a pro
se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been
filed.
Vasquez-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.
