2 17-30101
§§ 841(a)(1), 846, and conspiracy to launder money, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 1956(h). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Toelle’s counsel
has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to
withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Toelle the opportunity to file a
pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has
been filed.
Toelle 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.
