United States v. Ignacio Valles-Barrios, 584 F. App'x 883 (9th Cir. 2014)

United States v. Ignacio Valles-Barrios

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Ignacio Valles-Barrios appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 40-month sentence for reentry after 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), Valles-Barrios’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 Valles-Barrios the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Valles-Barrios has 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, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We accordingly dismiss the appeal. See id. at 988.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
