PER CURIAM.

       Deauntee Mosby directly appeals after pleading guilty in the district court1 to
participating in a drug conspiracy, pursuant to a plea agreement containing an appeal

Western District of Missouri.
waiver. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

       We conclude that the appeal waiver is valid, applicable, and enforceable. See
United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (de novo review of validity
and applicability of appeal waiver); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 890-92 (8th
Cir. 2003) (en banc) (discussing enforcement of appeal waivers). Furthermore, we
have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988),
and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the appeal
waiver. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion, and we dismiss this appeal.
