Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington Thomas O. Rice, District Judge, Presiding Submitted September 16, 2015** Before: HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges. Arnulfo Ricardo Martinez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the conviction and 80-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Martinez’s counsel has filed a brief * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Martinez the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed. Martinez has waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waivers, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). Counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel is GRANTED. DISMISSED. 2
