PER CURIAM.

       Alvaro Aguilar directly appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence the
district court1 imposed after he pled guilty to a drug offense, pursuant to a written plea


      1
      The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
agreement containing an appeal waiver. His counsel has filed a brief under Anders
v. California, 

(1967), arguing that the appeal waiver is unenforceable,
but conceding that there are no non-frivolous arguments for appeal. Counsel has also
moved for leave to withdraw.

       Upon careful review, we decline to enforce the appeal waiver. See United
States v. Boneshirt, 

, 515-16 (8th Cir. 2011). Having independently
reviewed the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 

(1988), we find no non-
frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw, and we
affirm.
