firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). Pursuant to Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Boothe’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 Boothe the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Boothe 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, except that the
waiver is invalid as to the restitution order because, at the time of the waiver,
Boothe was not provided with any estimate of the restitution amount. See United
States v. Tsosie, 639 F.3d 1213, 1217 (9th Cir. 2011). Nonetheless, our
independent review of the record discloses no arguable grounds for relief as to the
restitution order. We accordingly affirm the restitution order. We dismiss the
remainder of the appeal in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v.
Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 988 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
