SR/Research
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Gomez-Perez’s counsel has

filed a brief stating there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw

as counsel of record. We have provided the appellant with the opportunity to file a

pro se supplemental brief. Gomez-Perez has filed a pro se supplemental brief.

       Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75, 80-81 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

       The government has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal on the grounds that

Gomez-Perez waived his right to appeal. We grant that motion.

       Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeal is

DISMISSED.
