PER CURIAM.

      James Mitchell appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after he
pleaded guilty to a drug offense, pursuant to a plea agreement that includes an appeal

      The Honorable John M. Gerrard, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
waiver. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

       Upon careful review, we conclude that the appeal waiver is valid, enforceable,
and applicable to the sentencing issue raised in this appeal. See United States v.
Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-
92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc). We have also 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 to withdraw, and we dismiss the appeal.
