OSWALDO OROZCO SAUCEDA, a.k.a.
Oswaldo Orozco,

               Defendant - Appellant.


                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                    R. Gary Klausner, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted October 14, 2015**

Before:        SILVERMAN, BYBEE, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

      Oswaldo Orozco Sauceda appeals from the district court’s judgment and

challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 46-month sentence for being an illegal

alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C.

          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
§ 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Orozco Sauceda’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 Orozco Sauceda the

opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or

answering brief has been filed.

      Orozco Sauceda waived his right to appeal his conviction, with the

exception of an appeal based on a claim that his plea was involuntary. He also

waived the right to appeal his sentence, with the exception of the court’s

calculation of his criminal history category. Our independent review of the record

pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds

for relief as to Orozco Sauceda’s plea or the criminal history category calculated

by the court. We therefore affirm as to those issues. We dismiss the remainder of

the appeal in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582

F.3d 974, 988 (9th Cir. 2009).

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
