lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs ____________

Submitted: September 29, 2021 Filed: October 12, 2021 [Unpublished] ____________

Before ERICKSON, GRASZ, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Ryan Matone pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and received a 151-month prison sentence. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B). As part of the plea agreement, he waived the right to appeal his conviction and sentence, except for certain circumstances that are absent here. In an Anders brief, Matone’s counsel raises the district court’s 1 denial of a motion to suppress and the substantive reasonableness of the sentence as potential issues on appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Upon careful review, we conclude that the waiver is both enforceable and applicable. See United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (reviewing this issue de novo); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889–92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (explaining that an appeal waiver will be enforced if the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into the plea agreement and the waiver, the appeal falls within the scope of the waiver, and it would not result in a miscarriage of justice). We have also independently reviewed the record and conclude that no other non- frivolous issues exist. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 82–83 (1988). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel permission to withdraw. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Susan O. Hickey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
