Heraclio Lizarraga-Rodriguez appeals his guilty plea conviction and the 61-month sentence imposed for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Lizarraga-Rodriguez's attorney has moved to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), on the ground that there are no issues to raise on appeal.
As part of his plea agreement, Lizarraga-Rodriguez waived his right to appeal the judgment and sentence. Because he received a sentence consistent with the plea agreement, and there is no evidence that the waiver of the right to appeal was not knowing or was not voluntary, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. United States v. Aguilar-Muniz, 156 F.3d 974, 976 (9th Cir.1998).
Because our independent review of the record discloses no arguable issues, counsel's motion to withdraw is granted and the appeal is
DISMISSED.
