United States v. Romero-Diaz

MEMORANDUM ** Martin Francisco Romero-Diaz appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 62-month sentence imposed for illegal reentry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1826 (a), with a sentencing 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 Romero-Diaz 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.
