-- 1 of 2 --

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Rodriguez-Alvarado’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 Rodriguez-Alvarado the opportunity to file a
pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has
been filed.
Rodriguez-Alvarado waived his right to appeal his 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.
