Montana Code § 45-5-212(1) and (2). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), Headcarrier’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 Headcarrier the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se
supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Headcarrier has waived her right to appeal her sentences. Because the
record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waiver, we
dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir.
2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
