 v.
                                                MEMORANDUM*
SADIE MARIE TODD,

                Defendant-Appellant.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Montana
                   Dana L. Christensen, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted March 14, 2023**

Before:      SILVERMAN, SUNG, and SANCHEZ, Circuit Judges.

      Sadie Marie Todd appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges

her guilty-plea conviction and 48-month sentence for possession with intent to

distribute controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Pursuant to

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Todd’s counsel has filed a brief stating

      *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of

record. We have provided Todd the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief.

No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

      Todd waived her right to appeal her conviction and sentence. Our

independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80

(1988), discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. See United

States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We accordingly dismiss

the appeal. See id. at 988.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      DISMISSED.
