United States v. Clemente-Cano
Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Felicito Clemente-Cano appeals his conviction by guilty plea and 30-month sentence for illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 , with a sentencing enhancement pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326 (b)(2).
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Clemente-Cano’s attorney has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. 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, 80-81 , 109 S.Ct. 346 , 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. We dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
