No. 2:14-cr-00321-GMN-NJK-3 v. MEMORANDUM* KEITH WILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Gloria M. Navarro, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 17, 2022** Before: S.R. THOMAS, PAEZ, and LEE, Circuit Judges. Keith Williams appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and total 147-month sentence for conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951; three counts of interference with commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 1951; and * 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). brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 924(c)(1)(A). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Williams’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Williams the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed. Williams waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. See United States v. Goodall, 21 F.4th 555, 562-65 (9th Cir. 2021). We accordingly dismiss the appeal. See id. at 565. However, we remand for the district court to amend the written judgment to reflect the correct statutes of conviction for Count 13: 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 924(c)(1)(A). Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. DISMISSED; REMANDED with instructions. 2 17-10389
