substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B)(viii). Pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Bass’s counsel has filed a brief stating

except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. We have provided Bass the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief.
No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Bass 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.
