Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Katheryn Elizabeth Sherman appeals her sentence on her conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, for conspiracy to submit false claims against the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 286.

Sherman’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), asserting that there are no non-frivolous grounds to appeal. Sherman filed a pro se supplemental brief. The government filed no answer brief.

Because our independent review of the record indicates that the plea agreement, including the waiver of the right to appeal, was entered knowingly and voluntarily, United States v. Aguila-Muniz, 156 F.3d 974, 976 (9th Cir.1998), we enforce the waiver, GRANT counsel’s motion to withdraw, and DISMISS the appeal.

DISMISSED.
