PER CURIAM.

Daniel Villalobos-Delgado appeals the 120-month prison sentence the district

court*

 imposed after Villalobos-Delgado pleaded guilty to a drug-conspiracy charge.

On appeal, counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which counsel raises a challenge to the sentence

imposed.

The sentencing challenge fails, because in his plea agreement VillalobosDelgado specifically agreed to receive a sentence of 120 months imprisonment. See

United States v. Nguyen, 46 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1995) (defendant who explicitly

and voluntarily exposes himself to specific sentence may not challenge that

punishment on appeal). 

We have carefully reviewed the record in accordance with Penson v. Ohio, 488

U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s judgment, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.
