United States v. Alejandro Flores Rojas

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Alejandro Flores Rojas, 699 F. App'x 736 (9th Cir. 2017)

United States v. Alejandro Flores Rojas

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

In these consolidated appeals, Alejandro Flores Rojas appeals his guilty-plea conviction and 21-month sentence for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326, and the revocation of supervised release and consecutive 11-month sentence imposed upon revocation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Flores Rojas’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 Flores Rojas the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Flores Rojas waived his right to appeal his conviction, the revocation of supervised release, and his sentences. 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 these appeals. See id. at 988.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
