along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Webb
the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or
answering brief has been filed.
Webb has waived his right to appeal his conviction. Because the record
discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of that waiver, we dismiss the appeal
of Webb’s conviction. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir.
2009).
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief with respect to the sentence.
We therefore affirm the sentence.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED in part; AFFIRMED in part.
