PER CURIAM.

Marcus J. Glover appeals the 168-month prison sentence the district court1

imposed after he pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, in

violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and 846. On appeal, Glover’s counsel

has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967).

-2-

Glover’s written plea agreement contains a valid appeal waiver which

encompasses the argument that counsel raises on appeal, and we conclude that the

waiver is enforceable and that enforcing it would not cause a miscarriage of justice.

See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc)

(discussing enforceability of appeal waiver); see also United States v. Estrada-Bahena,

201 F.3d 1070, 1071 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (enforcing appeal waiver in Anders

case).

After reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75

(1988), and finding no non-frivolous issues not covered by the waiver, we enforce the

waiver and dismiss this appeal. We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw on condition

that counsel inform appellant about the procedures for filing petitions for rehearing

and for certiorari.
