   MEMORANDUM

Sankey Jim Reid appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 420-month sentence for second-degree murder, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111 and 1153. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Reid’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Reid has filed a pro se supplemental brief. No answering brief has been filed.

Reid 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, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir.2009). We accordingly dismiss the appeal. See id. at 988.

. We decline to review Reid’s ineffective assistance of counsel claims on direct appeal. See United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259-60 (9th Cir.2011),

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
