    UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. William Dean WADDELL, Appellant.
    No. 05-3977.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Feb. 7, 2007.
    Filed: Feb. 14, 2007.
    Richard D. Westphal, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Rock Island, IL, for Appellee.
    William Dean Waddell, Marion, IL, pro se.
    Matthew Mark Boles, Parrish & Kruidenier, Des Moines, IA, for Appellant.
    Before WOLLMAN, MURPHY, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

William Dean Waddell appeals the sentence the district court imposed after he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute at least 500 grams of a methamphetamine mixture, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and 846, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A). Waddell has filed a motion for appointment of counsel; his counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), in which he seeks leave to withdraw.

Waddell’s written plea agreement contains a valid appeal waiver which encompasses the argument that counsel raises on appeal, and we conclude that the waiver is enforceable and that enforcing it would not cause a miscarriage of justice. See United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 889-92 (8th Cir.2003) (en banc) (discussing enforceability of appeal waiver); see also United States v. Estrada-Bahena, 201 F.3d 1070, 1071 (8th Cir.2000) (per curiam) (enforcing appeal waiver in Anders case).

Further, having reviewed the record independently pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), for any nonfrivolous issues not covered by the appeal waiver, we find none. Accordingly, we enforce the waiver and dismiss this appeal. We also deny Waddell’s motion for appointment of counsel, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw. 
      
      . The Honorable James E. Gritzner, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
