PER CURIAM.

       Alicia Ramirez-Medina appeals the sentence that the district court1 imposed
after she pleaded guilty to a drug offense. Her counsel has moved to withdraw and


      1
        The Honorable Dean Whipple, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
filed a brief under Anders v. California, 
386 U.S. 738
(1967), asserting that the court
imposed a procedurally flawed and substantively unreasonable sentence.

       Ramirez-Medina pleaded guilty after entering into a written plea agreement
containing an appeal waiver. 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); United States v. Andis, 
333 F.3d 886
, 890-92 (8th
Cir. 2003) (en banc) (discussing enforcement of appeal waivers). Furthermore, we
have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 
488 U.S. 75
(1988),
and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s
motion and dismiss this appeal.
