*1 Before: PAEZ, NGUYEN, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.
Abraham Alvarado-Martinez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 27-month sentence for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Alvarado-Martinez ’s counsel has filed a brief stating that *2 there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Alvarado-Martinez the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Alvarado-Martinez 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.
