there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of
record. We have provided Fourhorns the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental
brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Fourhorns has waived the right to appeal his sentence. Because the record
discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver, we dismiss Fourhorns’s
appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
