PER CURIAM.

Chad Weis appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to drug and firearm charges pursuant to a plea agreement containing an appeal

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

After careful de novo review, we conclude that the appeal waiver is valid, enforceable, and applicable to this appeal. See United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (validity and applicability of appeal waiver is reviewed de novo); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (appeal waiver will be enforced if appeal falls within scope of waiver, defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into waiver and plea agreement, and enforcement would not result in miscarriage of justice).

Having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), we find no nonfrivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________
