MEMORANDUM **

Francisco Javier Astorga-Velarde appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 144-month sentence for using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Astorga-Velarde’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 Astorga-Velarde the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Astorga-Velarde has waived his right to appeal his conviction and 144-month sentence. Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waiver, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
