      ***
             The Honorable Jennifer Choe-Groves, Judge for the United States
Court of International Trade, sitting by designation.
21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 

(1967), Navarro’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 Navarro the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se

supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

      In the plea agreement, Navarro waived his right to appeal his conviction and

sentence. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 

, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief. Accordingly,

Navarro’s counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Navarro’s appeal is

DISMISSED.
