    UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Joshua R. FUERTES, also known as Rico Defendant-Appellant
    No. 17-1647
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: December 21, 2017
    Filed: December 27, 2017
    Jess E. Michaelsen, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Kansas City, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Joshua R. Fuertes, Pro Se
    Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Joshua Fuertes directly appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence the district court imposed after he pled guilty to drug and firearm offenses, pursuant to a plea agreement containing an appeal waiver. Counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), challenging Fuertes’s sentence, but conceding that the appeal waiver is applicable and enforceable.

Having considered Fuertes’s arguments, we conclude that the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (de novo review of validity and applicability of appeal waiver). The record establishes that Fuertes entered into the plea agreement and the appeal waiver knowingly and voluntarily, the arguments on appeal fall within the scope of the waiver, and no miscarriage of justice would result from enforcing the waiver. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc). In addition, having independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the waiver. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. The appeal is dismissed. 
      
      . The Honorable Beth Phillips, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
