Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Alfonso Castro-Gaytan appeals from his guilty plea conviction and sentence for illegal re-entry after deportation pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), with a sentencing enhancement pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). Castro-Gatan's counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967) stating there are no arguable issues for review and seeking to withdraw as counsel of record. CastroGaytan has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.
As part of the plea agreement, CastroGaytan waived the right to appeal his sentence and conviction. Having independently reviewed the record, we are satisfied that the plea agreement, including the waiver of the right to appeal, was entered knowingly and voluntarily. United States v. Aguilar-Muniz, 156 F.3d 974, 976 (9th Cir.1998). We therefore enforce the waiver, grant the motion to withdraw, and dismiss the appeal.
DISMISSED.
