   MEMORANDUM

David Leroy McCovy appeals from his conviction and 27-month sentence for bank fraud and aiding and abetting, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2 and 1344.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), McCovy’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 McCovy the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

We have reviewed the briefs and motions, and conducted an independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and we dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (appeal waiver valid when entered into knowingly and voluntarily).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
