United States v. Servin-Ojeda

175 F. App'x 879

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Luis Enrique Servin-Ojeda appeals from his gmlty-plea conviction and the 44-month sentence imposed for transportation of illegal aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) and (a)(1)(B)(iii).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Servin-Ojeda has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Servin-Ojeda has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.

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 it is entered into knowingly and voluntarily); see also United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir.2005) (holding that the changes in sentencing law imposed by United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), did not render waiver of appeal involuntary and unknowing).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

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.
