United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 23-2893 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Cory Taz-Dalton Hack lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City ____________ Submitted: March 7, 2024 Filed: March 14, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, BENTON, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Cory Hack appeals the below-Guidelines-range sentence the district court1 imposed after he pled guilty to drug, money laundering, and firearms charges The Honorable David Gregory Kays, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. pursuant to a written plea agreement containing an appeal waiver. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

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

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal based on the appeal waiver, grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and deny Hack’s motion for appointment of new counsel as moot. ______________________________
