11-10552 2
deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), Rodriguez-Morgan’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no
grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have
provided Rodriguez-Morgan the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief.
No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Rodriguez-Morgan has 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).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
