                                  ____________

Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Phillip Shockey appeals after he pleaded guilty with a written plea agreement
containing an appeal waiver to conspiring to commit bank fraud and the District
Court1 sentenced him to a prison term within the calculated United States Sentencing
Guidelines range. On appeal, counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), and a supplemental brief. Counsel acknowledges the appeal
waiver, questions the reasonableness of Shockey’s prison term, and requests leave to
withdraw. Shockey has filed two pro se briefs. He claims ineffective assistance of
counsel and challenges the District Court’s Guidelines calculations.

        To begin, we decline to consider Shockey’s ineffective-assistance claim on
direct appeal. See United States v. Ramirez-Hernandez, 449 F.3d 824, 826–27 (8th
Cir. 2006) (noting that “[c]laims of ineffective assistance of counsel . . . are usually
best litigated in collateral proceedings” where the record can be properly developed).
Further, after careful review, we conclude that the appeal waiver is enforceable and
applicable to the remaining issues raised on appeal. See United States v. Scott, 627
F.3d 702, 704 (8th Cir. 2010) (reviewing de novo the validity and applicability of an
appeal waiver); United States v. Andis, 333 F.3d 886, 890–92 (8th Cir.) (en banc)
(discussing enforcement of appeal waivers), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 997 (2003).
Finally, we have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the
waiver.

      We grant counsel leave to withdraw and dismiss this appeal.
