MEMORANDUM **
Pete Anthony Karaboyas appeals from the district court’s judgment and 180-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Karaboyas has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, and a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Karaboyas filed a pro se supplemental brief. The government has not filed an answering brief.
We have conducted an independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and we dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered into knowingly and voluntarily).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
DISMISSED.

 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
