are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.
We have provided Tsosie the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No
pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Tsosie has waived his right to appeal his conviction, sentence, and order of
restitution. Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the
appeal waiver, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974,
986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
