UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. JOSE JAVIER LOPEZ-DIAZ, a.k.a. Javier Lopez-Diaz, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 2:13-cr-01544-DLR-3 MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona
Douglas L. Rayes, District Judge, Presiding Before: HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Jose Javier Lopez-Diaz appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 144-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(b)(1)(A)(viii). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Lopez-Diaz'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 Lopez-Diaz the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Lopez-Diaz has waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waiver, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
