Before BOWMAN, BEAM, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      William Burton Self pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture
methamphetamine, see 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846 (1994). The District Court1
departed downward from the applicable guidelines range of 87-108 months of
imprisonment, sentencing him to forty-five months’ imprisonment and five years’
supervised release. On appeal, Self’s counsel has filed a brief and moved to withdraw




      1
      The
Western District of Missouri.
under Anders v. California, 

(1967); Self has not filed a pro se
supplemental brief.

       Having thoroughly reviewed the record, we conclude that in the written plea
agreement Self knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal his sentence. See
United States v. Michelsen, 

, 871-73 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 

(1998); United States v. Greger, 

, 1081-82 (8th Cir. 1996). Accordingly,
we enforce the appeal waiver, dismiss this appeal, and grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw. See United States v. Berberich, No. 00-2344, 

, at *4 (8th
Cir. June 21, 2001); United States v. Estrada-Bahena, 

, 1071 (8th Cir.
2000) (per curiam).
