Opinion:
MEMDRANDUM
Abel Angulo-Sandoval appeals his 87-month sentence following his guilty plea conviction to conspiracy to possess and distribute methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, 841(a)(1). His attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and a brief stating that counsel cannot identify any nonfrivolous issues for review.
We have conducted an independent review of the record and the briefs on appeal pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82-83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), which disclosed that Angulo-Sando-val knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal his sentence and he was sentenced within the terms of the plea agreement. Accordingly, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. United States v. Martinez, 143 F.3d 1266, 1270-72 (9th Cir.1998) (enforcing waiver of right to appeal where waiver is knowing and voluntary and sentence is in accordance with plea agreement).
Counsel's motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
