deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326; and the 12-month sentence imposed

upon revocation of supervised release. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967), Guzman-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 Guzman-Perez with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief.

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

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

75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. We

dismiss in light of the valid appeal waivers. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d

1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2000).

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      In case numbers 11-10396 and 11-10398, the appeals are DISMISSED.
