Adriana Gomez-Correa appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after
she pled guilty to a drug offense, pursuant to a written plea agreement containing an

appeal waiver. Her counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence.
Upon careful review, we conclude the appeal waiver is valid, enforceable, and
applicable to the issues raised in this appeal. See United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702,
704 (8th Cir. 2010) (reviewing validity and applicability of appeal waiver de novo);
United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889!92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (enforcing an
appeal waiver if the appeal falls within the scope of waiver, defendant knowingly and
voluntarily entered into the plea agreement and waiver, and it would not result in
miscarriage of justice). We have also independently reviewed the record under
Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for
appeal falling outside the scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly, we grant
counsel’s motion to withdraw and dismiss the appeal.
