United States Court of Appeals

For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 24-3489 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Adriana Gomez-Correa lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant

____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri ____________ Submitted: August 20, 2025 Filed: August 25, 2025 [Unpublished] ____________

Before LOKEN, GRASZ, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.

____________ PER CURIAM.

Adriana Gomez-Correa appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1 after she pled guilty to a drug offense, pursuant to a written plea agreement containing an appeal waiver. Her 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 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 validity and applicability of appeal waiver de novo); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889!92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (enforcing an appeal waiver if the appeal falls within the scope of waiver, defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered into the plea agreement and waiver, and it would not result in miscarriage of justice). We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal falling outside the scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and dismiss the appeal.
