Sadie Marie Todd appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges
her guilty-plea conviction and 48-month sentence for possession with intent to
distribute controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Pursuant to

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).

that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. We have provided Todd the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief.
No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Todd waived her right to appeal her 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.
