NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JAN 27 2026 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 24-7506 D.C. No. Plaintiff - Appellee, 2:23-cr-00212-SPL-1 v. MEMORANDUM* HERIBERTO LOPEZ-LANDEROS, AKA Heriberto Landeros-Lopez, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Steven P. Logan, District Judge, Presiding Submitted January 22, 2026** Before: WARDLAW, CLIFTON, and R. NELSON, Circuit Judges. Heriberto Lopez-Landeros appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 168-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B)(viii). Lopez-Landeros’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Lopez- Landeros has not filed a pro se supplemental brief. In the plea agreement, Lopez-Landeros waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Our independent review of the record, see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no non-frivolous issue as to whether the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We therefore dismiss the appeal. See id. at 988. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. DISMISSED. 2 24-7506
