U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 18-30193
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Duenas’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 Duenas the opportunity to file a pro se
supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been
filed.
Duenas waived the right to appeal his sentence. Because the record
discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver, we dismiss Duenas’s
appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
