UNITED STATES v. NAVARRO (2020)

MEMORANDUM ***

Anthony Navarro appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 87-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Navarro'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 Navarro the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

In the plea agreement, Navarro waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief. Accordingly, Navarro's counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED and Navarro's appeal is DISMISSED.
