PER CURIAM.
Donald Mauzy appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he
pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and firearms offenses, pursuant to a plea agreement
1
The Honorable Roseann A. Ketchmark, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
containing an appeal waiver. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has
filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the
sentence as substantively unreasonable.
We will enforce the appeal waiver in this case because we conclude that the
waiver is valid, enforceable, and applicable to this appeal. See United States v. Scott,
627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th
Cir. 2003) (en banc). Further, 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 grant counsel leave to withdraw, and dismiss this appeal.
