Docket

*1 Before: SCHROEDER, TASHIMA, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Luis Armando Cruz-Galvan appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea convictions and 121-month concurrent sentences for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. *2 §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(vii), and 846, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(A)(i), (h). Pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Cruz-Galvan’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Cruz-Galvan has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No answering brief has been filed.

Cruz-Galvan waived his right to appeal his conviction, sentence, and the order of forfeiture. 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.
