United States v. Torrado

MEMORANDUM ^**

David Torrado appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 87-month sentence for escape from federal custody in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 751(a).

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), counsel for Torrado has filed a brief stating that he finds no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

We dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered into knowingly and voluntarily).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the appeal is DISMISSED.
