with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A)(viii).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Jimenez’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 Jimenez the opportunity to file a pro se
supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been
filed.
Jimenez has waived his right to appeal his 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.
