¶2 Navine Sharma appeals from his guilty-plea conviction and 92-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1); (b)(1)(C). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Sharma’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 Sharma the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.
¶3 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. We dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000).
¶4 Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
¶5 Sharma’s request for appointment of other counsel is DENIED.
¶6 DISMISSED.
