guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud under a plea agreement containing a waiver
of his appeal and post-conviction rights.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the waiver is valid, enforceable, and
applicable to the issue raised in this appeal. See United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702,
704 (8th Cir. 2010) (validity and applicability of an appeal waiver is reviewed de
novo); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (appeal
waiver will be enforced if the appeal falls within the scope of the waiver, the
defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into the plea agreement and the waiver,
and enforcing the waiver would not result in a miscarriage of justice). Accordingly,
we dismiss this appeal based on the appeal waiver.
