PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 14-3749 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/12/2015 Entry ID: 4274250 
Braulio Arizmendiz-Contreras appeals the sentence the district court imposed

1

after he pleaded guilty to an immigration offense. His counsel has moved for leave

to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),

arguing that Arizmendiz-Contreras’s sentence is unreasonable, and acknowledging

an appeal waiver in Arizmendiz-Contreras’s plea agreement.

After careful de novo review, we enforce the appeal waiver. See United States

v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (enforcement of appeal

waivers); United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of

review). Having independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488

U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues outside the scope of the appeal

waiver. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed, and we grant counsel’s motion for

leave to withdraw.
