there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. We have provided Gonzalez-Gonzalez the opportunity to file a pro se
supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been
filed.
Gonzalez-Gonzalez has 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).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED.
