    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. James SWIFT, also known as James Equanice Swift, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 14-3597.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: April 2, 2015.
    Filed: April 16, 2015.
    Christopher C. Myers, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Fargo, ND, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Scott Patrick Brand, Brudvik Law Office, Fargo, ND, for Defendant-Appellant.
    James Swift, Florence, CO, pro se.
    Before BYE, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

James Swift directly appeals the sentence the district court imposed after he pled guilty to a drug-related charge. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief citing Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and acknowledging an appeal waiver in Swift’s plea agreement.

Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that the appeal waiver is enforceable. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-90 (8th Cir.2003) (en banc) (appeal waiver will be enforced where appeal falls within scope of waiver, plea agreement and waiver were entered into knowingly and voluntarily, and no miscarriage of justice would result); see also United States v. Scott, 627 F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir.2010) (de novo review of validity and applicability of appeal waiver). In addition, having reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues outside the scope of the appeal waiver. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal based upon the appeal waiver.

As for counsel’s motion to withdraw, we conclude that allowing counsel to withdraw at this time would not be consistent with the Eighth Circuit’s 1994 Amendment to Part V of the Plan to Implement The Criminal Justice Act of 1964. We therefore deny counsel’s motion to withdraw as premature, without prejudice to counsel refiling the motion upon fulfilling the duties set forth in the Amendment.

Judge Colloton would grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. See United States v. Eredia, 578 Fed.Appx. 620, 621 (8th Cir. 2014) (unpublished per curiam) (Colloton, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.) 
      
      . The Honorable Ralph R. Erickson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of North Dakota.
