PER CURIAM.
Juan Cano-Lima appeals the within-Guidelines-range sentence the District
1
Court imposed after he entered into a written plea agreement and pleaded guilty to

The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
an immigration offense. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief
under Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), questioning the reasonableness of
Cano-Lima’s sentence. Upon careful review, we dismiss this appeal pursuant to an
enforceable appeal waiver in the plea agreement. See United States v. Andis,
333
F.3d 886, 889–92 (8th Cir.) (en banc) (describing the circumstances under which the
appellate court should enforce an appeal waiver and dismiss the appeal), cert. denied,
540 U.S. 997 (2003).
As for counsel’s motion to withdraw, we conclude that allowing counsel to
withdraw at this time would not be consistent with the Eighth Circuit’s 1994
Amendment to Part V of the Plan to Implement The Criminal Justice Act of 1964.
We therefore deny counsel’s motion to withdraw as premature, without prejudice to
counsel refiling the motion upon fulfilling the duties set forth in the Amendment.
Judge Colloton would grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. See United States
v. Eredia, No. 13-3538,
2014 WL 4920905, at *1(8th Cir. Oct. 2, 2014) (unpublished)
(Colloton, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
