Florence Julio appeals the district court’s1 judgment of conviction after she
pleaded guilty to a money laundering charge. Her plea agreement contained a waiver

of her right to appeal her conviction, but preserved her right to appeal her sentence.
Her counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in imposing
a sentence within the Guidelines range. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455,
461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); United States v. Lincoln, 413 F.3d 716, 717 (8th Cir.
2005). We further conclude that the appeal waiver is valid, enforceable, and
applicable to any non-sentencing issues. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886,
889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc).
We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the
appeal waiver. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we
grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
