PER CURIAM:

Steven Antonio Martin pled guilty, pursuant to a written plea agreement, to possession of a firearm by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (2012). The district court imposed a sentence of 64 months’ imprisonment, which fell within the Sentencing Guidelines range established by the district court. On appeal, Martin’s counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), questioning whether the district court erred in concluding that Martin’s prior conviction for North Carolina conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon qualified as a crime of violence conviction for purposes of U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual §§ 2K2.1(a)(4)(A), 4B1.2(a) (2016). The Government has moved to dismiss Martin’s appeal based upon a waiver of appellate rights in his plea agreement.

We conclude that the appeal waiver contained in Martin’s plea agreement is valid, as he entered it knowingly and intelligently. See United States v. Manigan, 592 F.3d 621, 627 (4th Cir. 2010). Martin waived the right to appeal his conviction, any issue related to the establishment of the Guidelines range, and any sentence within or below that range. Accordingly, we grant the Government’s motion to dismiss in part and dismiss the appeal as to any issues within the scope of the waiver that are waivable by law, including counsel’s challenge to the USSG § 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) enhancement. See United States v. Johnson, 410 F.3d 137, 151 (4th Cir. 2005) (recognizing that certain claims cannot be waived by plea agreement).

In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no meritorious grounds for appeal that are outside of the scope of the appeal waiver or not waivable by law. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal in part and affirm the district court’s judgment as to any issue not precluded by the appeal waiver. This court requires that counsel inform Martin, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Martin requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Martin.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
