Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Paul Edward Bell appeals from the district court's judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 360-month sentence for sex trafficking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591(a)(1), (a)(2), (b)(1), and (b)(2). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Bell'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 Bell the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
Bell has waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. 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 as counsel is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.
