Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Adrian Ortega-Diaz appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 135-month sen *901 tence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute over 50 grams of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846; and conspiracy to manufacture over 1,000 plants of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Ortega-Diaz’s counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Ortega-Diaz the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. We dismiss 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.

DISMISSED.
