Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Timothy Jokubeit directly appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after
he pled guilty to child pornography offenses, pursuant to a plea agreement containing

      1
       The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
an appeal waiver. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief
under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), acknowledging the appeal waiver.

       We conclude that the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States v. Scott,
627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (validity and applicability of appeal waiver is
reviewed de novo). The record shows that Jokubeit entered into the plea agreement
and the appeal waiver knowingly and voluntarily, the arguments on appeal fall within
the scope of the waiver, and no miscarriage of justice would result from enforcing the
waiver. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc).
Finally, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the waiver.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we dismiss this appeal.
