PER CURIAM.

Pursuant to a written plea agreement, Ramon Campos Garibay pleaded guilty

to a drug trafficking charge, and the district court1

 sentenced him to 46 months in

prison and 3 years of supervised release. On appeal, his counsel has moved to

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

raising as a potential issue that the court’s sentence is unreasonable.

The plea agreement in this case included a waiver by Garibay of all rights

conferred by 18 U.S.C. § 3742 to appeal the sentence imposed on him, so long as the

sentence did not exceed 87 months in prison. Based on Garibay’s statements during

the change-of-plea hearing, we conclude that he entered into both the plea agreement

and the appeal waiver knowingly and voluntarily. Further, the appeal waiver applies,

because the sentence that Garibay received was below 87 months in prison; the

argument raised on appeal falls within the scope of the waiver; and we cannot see any

miscarriage of justice that would result from enforcing the waiver in these

circumstances, particularly when Garibay received a sentence at the bottom of the

uncontested Guidelines range. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th

Cir. 2003) (en banc) (discussing enforceability of appeal waiver); United States v.

Michelsen, 141 F.3d 867, 871-72 (8th Cir. 1998) (same)

Finally, having reviewed the record independently pursuant to Penson v. Ohio,

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

none. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw, and we dismiss this appeal.
