filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to
withdraw as counsel of record. Lopez Crespo has filed a pro se supplemental brief,
and the government has filed an answering brief.
Lopez Crespo has 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.
DISMISSED.
