UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 25-7186 Plaintiff -Appellee, D.C. No. 1:24-cr-00040-LEK-1 v. SETH ZACHARY OWENS, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii Leslie E. Kobayashi, District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 22, 2026**

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

Before: CANBY, BENNETT, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

In these consolidated appeals, Seth Zachary Owens appeals from the district court’s judgments and challenges his guilty-plea convictions and concurrent 33- month sentences for being a felon in possession of ammunition in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), and obstruction of justice in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2).

Owens’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Owens has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.

In the plea agreements, Owens waived his right to appeal the convictions and sentences.

Our independent review of the record, see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no non-frivolous issue as to whether the appeal waivers are enforceable. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).

We therefore dismiss these appeals. See id. at 988.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

DISMISSED.
