Before WOLLMAN, MAGILL, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

    John W. Perko, Jr. appeals the sentences imposed by
the district court1 after he pleaded guilty in separate
proceedings to assault and firearm charges.      Counsel
filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), and was granted leave to withdraw. Perko was
given an opportunity to file a supplemental brief, but
did not do so. We dismiss the appeals, as both of the
written plea agreements contained a waiver of Perko’s

District of South Dakota.
appeal rights,   and our review of the record convinces us
that Perko

                            -2-
knowingly and voluntary waived these rights. See United
States v. His Law, 85 F.3d 379, 379 (8th Cir. 1996) (per
curiam); United States v. Rutan, 956 F.2d 827, 829 (8th
Cir. 1992).
