Sabree’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 Sabree the
opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or
answering brief has been filed.
Sabree 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.
At sentencing, the district court announced a special condition of supervised
release that Sabree not contact the victim, Jodah Syretta Seymour, and that the
probation officer verify compliance. This special condition of supervised release
does not appear in the written judgment. We remand to the district court to add to
the written judgment this special supervised release condition. See United States v.
Hernandez, 795 F.3d 1159, 1169 (9th Cir. 2015) (remanding for the district court
to make the written judgment consistent with the unambiguous oral
pronouncement of sentence).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
