UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. J. MARCOS PANIAGUA-VIEYRA, a.k.a. Marcontoni Paniagua, a.k.a. Juan Marco Paniagua-Vieyra, a.k.a. Juan Marcos Paniagua-Vieyra, Defendant-Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 2:17-cr-01268-SPL MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona
Steven P. Logan, District Judge, Presiding Before: FARRIS, BYBEE, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
J. Marcos Paniagua-Vieyra appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 12-month sentence for attempted reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Paniagua-Vieyra'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 Paniagua-Vieyra the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Paniagua-Vieyra 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.
We remand the case to the district court with instructions to correct the judgment to reflect the correct offense of conviction, attempted reentry of a removed alien.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED; REMANDED to correct the judgment.
