U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Hector Ortiz-Tarazon, Sr., 621 F. App'x 512 (9th Cir. 2015)

United States v. Hector Ortiz-Tarazon, Sr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Hector Raul Ortizr-Tarazon, Sr. appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea convictions and concurrent 120-month sentences for violating 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h) and 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(l)(B)(vii) and 846. He also challenges his conviction and consecutive 60-month sentence for violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 924(c)(1)(A)© and 2. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Ortiz-Tarazon’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel. Ortiz-Tarazon has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No answering brief has been filed.

Ortiz-Tarazon has waived his right to appeal his conviction and 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.
