United States v. Soto-Navarro
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Jesus Soto-Navarro appeals his conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, and sentence for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846.
Soto-Navarro’s attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and has moved to withdraw as counsel of record. Soto-Navarro has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.
Because our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), indicates that the plea agreement, including the waiver of the right to appeal, was entered knowingly and voluntarily, United States v. Aguilar-Muniz, 156 F.3d 974, 976 (9th Cir. 1998), we enforce the waiver, grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and dismiss the appeal.
DISMISSED.
