Before MURPHY, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Juan Olivares appeals from the sentence the District Court1 imposed after he
pleaded guilty to a drug offense. His written plea agreement included an appeal

       The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
waiver. His counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief in accordance with
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence was
unreasonable. We conclude that the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States
v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (reviewing de novo “the validity and
applicability” of an appeal waiver); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889–92
(8th Cir.) (en banc) (discussing enforcement of appeal waivers), cert. denied, 540
U.S. 997 (2003). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly,
we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we dismiss this appeal.
