                                 ___________

Before MELLOY, FAGG, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Roy Louis Taylor pleaded guilty to engaging in a sexual act with another person
who was physically incapable of declining participation, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§
1153, 2242(2), and 2246(2)(A). The district court* sentenced Taylor to 78 months in
prison, 3 years of supervised release, and restitution in the amount of $355. On
appeal, Taylor’s counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

      *
        The Honorable Charles B. Kornmann, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.
       Taylor’s plea agreement contains a valid appeal waiver. See United States v.
Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-90 (8th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 997 (2003),
and having reviewed the record independently for any nonfrivolous issues not covered
by the appeal waiver, we find none. Accordingly, we enforce the waiver, dismiss this
appeal, and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
