* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

-- 1 of 2 --

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Santos’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 Santos the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Santos has waived the right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Because
the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver, we dismiss
Santos’s appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir.
2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
