    lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellant
    ____________
    Appeal from United States District Court
    for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph

    Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
    ____________
    PER CURIAM.
    Shawn Hatfield directly appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after
    he pled guilty to drug and money-laundering offenses, pursuant to a plea agreement
    that contained an appeal waiver. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and
    1
    The Honorable Greg Kays, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the
    Western District of Missouri.
    has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967), essentially arguing
    that the district court imposed an unreasonable sentence.
    Upon careful review, we conclude that the waiver is valid and enforceable. See
    United States v. Scott, 
    627 F.3d 702
    , 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (de novo review of validity
    and applicability of appeal waiver); 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 plea agreement and waiver,
    and enforcing waiver would not result in miscarriage of justice). Having
    independently reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 
    488 U.S. 75
     (1988),
    we find no nonfrivolous issues outside the scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly,
    we dismiss this appeal, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.
