PER CURIAM.

Tyler Joseph Berglund (Berglund) appeals the 282-month prison sentence the

district court1

 imposed after Berglund pled guilty to drug conspiracy and firearms

charges. In a brief filed under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), his counsel

argues that the district court’s sentence was “[e]rroneously [e]xaggerated by a

[m]isapplication of the Sentencing Guidelines” and that the court erred in failing to

grant a greater downward departure at sentencing.

We enforce the broad appeal waiver included in Berglund’s plea agreement

because (1) the plea colloquy reflects that Berglund understood and voluntarily

accepted the terms of the plea agreement, including the waiver; (2) this appeal falls

within the scope of the waiver; and (3) no injustice would result. 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).

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

U.S. 75, 80 (1988), for any nonfrivolous issue not covered by the waiver, we find

none. Therefore, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. We also grant

counsel’s motion to withdraw.
