   MEMORANDUM

Aaron Vince Silas appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his 84-month sentence for aggravated sexual assault, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153, 2241(a)(1), and 2246. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Silas’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 Silas the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Silas has waived his right to appeal. Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waiver, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
