except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

-- 1 of 2 --

to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Miranda-Bueras’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 Miranda-Bueras the opportunity to file a
pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has
been filed.
Miranda-Bueras has waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence.
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 is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
