United States v. Florence Julio

United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 21-2978 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Florence Rosale Julio lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern ____________ Submitted: April 15, 2022 Filed: April 29, 2022 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Florence Julio appeals the district court’s1 judgment of conviction after she pleaded guilty to a money laundering charge. Her plea agreement contained a waiver of her right to appeal her conviction, but preserved her right to appeal her sentence.

Her counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in imposing a sentence within the Guidelines range. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc); United States v. Lincoln, 413 F.3d 716, 717 (8th Cir. 2005). We further conclude that the appeal waiver is valid, enforceable, and applicable to any non-sentencing issues. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc).

We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________
