v.
MEMORANDUM*
EVELIO SEDENO-BADIA,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Rosemary Márquez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 27, 2026**
Before: SILVERMAN, FORREST, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges.
Evelio Sedeno-Badia appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 33-month sentence for importation of
fentanyl in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a) and 960(a)(1).
Sedeno-Badia’s counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
738 (1967), stating that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Sedeno-
Badia has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.
In the plea agreement, Sedeno-Badia waived his right to appeal the
conviction and sentence.
Our independent review of the record, see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80
(1988), discloses no non-frivolous issue as to whether the appeal waiver is
enforceable. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
We therefore dismiss the appeal. See id. at 988.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
DISMISSED.
