Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Angelina C. Patao appeals from her guilty-plea conviction and 200-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Patao's counsel has filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. No pro se supplemental brief has been filed. The government has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no grounds for relief on direct appeal. We affirm the conviction, and we dismiss the appeal of the sentence based on a valid appeal waiver.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.
The government's motion to dismiss is granted in part.
Conviction AFFIRMED; Appeal of sentence DISMISSED.
