UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Juan Jose OLIVARES, also known as Juan Jose Oliveros, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 16-1355
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 7, 2016
    Filed: July 12, 2016
    Travis D. Poindexter, Asst. Fed. Public Defender, Kansas City, MO (Laine Car-darella, Fed. Public Defender, on the brief), for appellant.
    Justin G. Davids, Asst. U.S. Atty., Kansas City, MO, for appellee.
    Before MURPHY, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Juan Olivares appeals from the sentence the District Court imposed after he pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His written plea agreement included an appeal waiver. His counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), arguing that the sentence was unreasonable. We conclude that the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (reviewing de novo “the validity and applicability” of an appeal waiver); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir.) (en banc) (discussing enforcement of appeal waivers), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 997, 124 S.Ct. 501, 157 L.Ed.2d 398 (2003). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we dismiss this appeal. 
      
      . The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
