Case Explained: USA V. FLORES

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Filed: 2026-08-03 Docket: 8:23-cr-00063-DOC-1 The ninth-circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment and sentence as to issues covered by the defendant’s appeal waiver, following an independent review of the record that disclosed no basis for challenge. The court dismissed the remainder of the appeal regarding the enforceability of the appeal waiver because counsel filed a brief under *Anders v. California* identifying no non-frivolous arguments, and the defendant did not file a pro se supplemental brief. Consequently, the court granted counsel’s motion to withdraw.
