Sentencing Agreement” containing an appeal waiver. His 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 issue 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 the waiver, defendant knowingly
and voluntarily entered into the plea agreement and the waiver, and enforcing the
waiver would not result in a 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 leave to withdraw and dismiss this appeal.
