PER CURIAM.

Jesse Morgan appeals from the sentence the District Court imposed after he 1

pleaded guilty to wire fraud. His counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California,

The Honorable Greg Kays, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the

1

Western District of Missouri.

Appellate Case: 15-2148 Page: 1 Date Filed: 01/14/2016 Entry ID: 4355942 
386 U.S. 738 (1967), requesting leave to withdraw and arguing that the District Court

inadequately considered a relevant factor at sentencing. 

Morgan’s written plea agreement contained an appeal waiver. Upon careful

review, we enforce the waiver. See 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 (2003). We have independently reviewed the record, see Penson v. Ohio,

488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issue for appeal outside the

scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal and grant counsel

leave to withdraw.
