memorandum: **
David Jimenez-Pedroza appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 235-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A); and 846. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Jimenez-Pedroza’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. Jimenez-Pedroza has filed a pro se supplemental brief and the government has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal.
Jimenez-Pedroza waived the right to appeal his conviction, with the exception of an appeal based on a claim that his plea was involuntary. He also waived the right to appeal most aspects of his sentence, as long as his sentence did not exceed 25 years. 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 as to the voluntariness of Jimenez-Pedroza’s plea or any aspects of the sentence not covered by the appeal waiver. We therefore affirm as to those issues. We grant the government’s motion in part and dismiss the remainder of the appeal in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 988 (9th Cir.2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
