United States v. Miramontes-Frausto
United States v. Miramontes-Frausto
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Gonzalo Miramontes-Frausto appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 70-month sentence for being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Miramontes-Frausto has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Miramontes-Frausto has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.
Because our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82-83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), indicates that Miramontes-Frausto knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal and was sentenced within the terms of the plea agreement, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
