Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Terry Richard Sommerville appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 180-month sentence for sexual exploitation of a child, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Sommerville'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 Sommerville the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Sommerville waived his right to appeal his conviction, with the exception of an appeal based on a claim that his plea was involuntary. Sommerville also waived the right to appeal five specified issues related to his 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 grounds for relief as to the voluntariness of Som-merville's plea or any sentencing issue outside the scope of the appeal waiver. We therefore affirm as to those issues. We dismiss the remainder of the appeal in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 988 (9th Cir.2009).
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
