Raquel Graham,

lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant. ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis ____________

Submitted: August 6, 2018 Filed: August 7, 2018 [Unpublished] ____________

Before LOKEN, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Raquel Graham directly appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after she pleaded guilty to a drug offense, pursuant to a plea agreement containing an

1 The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. appeal waiver. Her counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence.

We will enforce the appeal waiver in this case because our review of the record demonstrates that Graham entered into the plea agreement and the appeal waiver knowingly and voluntarily, her challenge to the sentence falls within the scope of the appeal 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). Further, we have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the appeal waiver.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. ______________________________
