U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), Navarro’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 Navarro the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se
supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
In the plea agreement, Navarro 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 grounds for relief. Accordingly,
Navarro’s counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Navarro’s appeal is
DISMISSED.
