PER CURIAM.

      Michael Sheehan directly appeals after he pled guilty to being a felon in
possession of a firearm, and the district court1 sentenced him as an armed career

      1
      The Honorable M. Douglas Harpool, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
criminal. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief under
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), questioning the reasonableness of
Sheehan’s sentence, but conceding that an appeal waiver in the plea agreement is
applicable.

      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). Sheehan concedes that he 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 (1988), we find no non-frivolous issues for appeal outside the scope of the
waiver. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we dismiss this
appeal.
