UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. HECTOR NAPOLEON SANTOS, a.k.a. Hector Napoleon-Santos, a.k.a. Hector Napoleon Santos, Defendant - Appellant.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 4:14-cr-00741-RM-DTF-1 MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona
Rosemary Marquez, 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.
Hector Napoleon Santos appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 43-month sentence for attempted illegal re-entry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Santos'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 Santos the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Santos has waived the right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver, we dismiss Santos's appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
