             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
§ 1956(a)(1)(A)(i), (h). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 

(1967),

Zamudio-Duran’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

Zamudio-Duran the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se

supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

      Zamudio-Duran has waived his right to appeal his sentence. Our

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

, 80

(1988), discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. See United

States v. Watson, 

, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We accordingly dismiss

the appeal. See 

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      DISMISSED.
