United States v. Loera-Vasquez

213 F. App'x 615

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Rogelio Loera-Vasquez appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 71-month sentence for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), with a sentence enhancement pursuant to § 1326(b).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Loera-Vasquez has filed a brief stating that he finds 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.

We dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when entered into knowingly and voluntarily).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
