NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MAY 12 2020 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 19-10124 Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 2:17-cr-01156-SPL-1 v. MEMORANDUM* LEON ARTHUR DOSELA, Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Steven P. Logan, District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 6, 2020** Before: BERZON, N.R. SMITH, and MILLER, Circuit Judges.

Leon Arthur Dosela appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 241-month sentence for second-degree murder, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111, 1153. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Dosela’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Dosela has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No answering brief has been filed.

Dosela 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 (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. Dosela’s request for appointment of new counsel is DENIED.

DISMISSED.
