 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 141 F.3d 1180 (9th Cir. 1998) .Submitted Mar. 10, 1998**.Decided Mar. 19, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California James M. Ideman, District Judge, Presiding.

Before FLETCHER, BEEZER, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Steven Craig appeals his conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, and sentence for conspiracy to interfere and interference with commerce by robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1951(a) and 2(a). Craig's attorney has submitted a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. In his plea agreement, Craig waived his appellate rights so long as his sentence was within the applicable guideline range. Because the sentence was within the guideline range and our independent review of the record discloses no indication that the waiver of appeal is invalid, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw and we dismiss the appeal.

DISMISSED.
