MEMORANDUM **

Bao Zhong Wang appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 30-month sentence for distribution of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(C). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Wang’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to *361 withdraw as counsel of record. Wang filed two pro se letters, which we treat as Wang’s pro se supplemental. brief. No answering brief has been filed.

Wang 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.

To the extent that Wang seeks to raise a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, we decline to address this issue on direct appeal. See United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 2011).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
