   MEMORANDUM

Javier Gomez-Perez appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 51-month sentence for illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Gomez-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 the appellant with the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. Gomez-Perez has filed a pro se supplemental brief.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal.

The government has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal on the grounds that Gomez-Perez waived his right to appeal. We grant that motion.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
