Before SMITH, MAGILL and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

        Terry Cross appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded
guilty to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21
U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and being a felon and unlawful drug user in possession
of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1), (3), and 924(a)(2). His counsel
has moved to withdraw and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 

(1967).



      1
        The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
       Cross’s plea agreement contains a valid appeal waiver. See United States v.
Andis, 

, 889-92 (8th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (discussing enforceability of
appeal waiver); see also United States v. Estrada-Bahena, 

, 1071 (8th
Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (enforcing appeal waiver in Anders case). Having reviewed
the record independently pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 

, 80 (1988), we find
no nonfrivolous issues not covered by the appeal waiver.

      Accordingly, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. We also grant
counsel leave to withdraw.
                       ______________________________
