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