UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Nelson Giovanni NAVARRETE, Defendant-Appellant, 192 F. App'x 619

MEMORANDUM Nelson Giovanni Navarrete appeals from his conviction and 45-month sentence imposed for re-entry into the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). Navarrete’s attorney has moved to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), on the ground that the appeal presents no arguable issues. Navarrete has not submitted a pro se supplemental brief. Because our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v.

Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82-83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), indicates that Navarrete knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal and was sentenced within the terms of the plea agreement, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered 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.
