Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Sherwin Antwain Carter pleaded guilty, pursuant to a Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(1)(C) plea agreement, to possession with intent to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(C) (2012). The parties agreed to a 96-month term of imprisonment, and the district court accepted the plea and sentenced Carter accordingly. Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), questioning whether Carter was properly sentenced. Although notified of his right to do so, Carter did not file a pro se supplemental brief, and the Government elected not to respond to the Anders brief. We affirm in part and dismiss in part
Generally, we review a defendant’s sentence “under a deferential abuse-of- discretion standard.” Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 41 (2007). “However, not all sentences are subject to appellate review.” United States v. Williams , 811 F.3d 621, 622- 23 (4th Cir. 2016). In this case, we lack jurisdiction to review Carter’s sentence because it was imposed in accordance with the terms of his Rule 11(c)(1)(C) plea agreement and was neither based on a Sentencing Guidelines range nor imposed in violation of law. See id. at 623-25.
In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore dismiss Carter’s challenge to his sentence of imprisonment and affirm the remainder of the district court’s judgment. This court requires that counsel inform Carter, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Carter requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may *3 move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Carter.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART
