UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. FRANCISCO GUZMAN-PEREZ, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
James M. Moody, District Judge, Presiding
The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, sitting by designation.
Before: WARDLAW, CLIFTON, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
In these consolidated appeals, Francisco Guzman-Perez appeals from the 24-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and the 12-month sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Guzman-Perez's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Guzman-Perez with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. We dismiss in light of the valid appeal waivers. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2000).
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
In case numbers 11-10396 and 11-10398, the appeals are DISMISSED.
