violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A). Pursuant to Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Lopez-Perez’s counsel has filed a brief stating

that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel.

We have provided Lopez-Perez the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief.

Lopez-Perez has filed motion to file a late brief and we have received a pro se

supplemental brief from him.

      Lopez-Perez waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence.

Because the record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal

waiver, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88

(9th Cir. 2009).

      Lopez-Perez’s motion to file a late brief is GRANTED.

      Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

      DISMISSED.
