1 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO STATE OF NEW MEXICO, 3 Plaintiff-Appellee, v. NO. 34,700 JASON REYES, 6 Defendant-Appellant.

7 APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF DOÑA ANA COUNTY Fernando R. Macias, District Judge Hector H. Balderas, Attorney General Santa Fe, NM for Appellee Jorge A. Alvarado, Chief Public Defender Kathleen T. Baldridge, Assistant Appellate Defender Santa Fe, NM for Appellant 16 MEMORANDUM OPINION ZAMORA, Judge.

18 {1} Defendant appeals from a judgment and sentence rendered pursuant to a guilty plea. We previously issued a notice of proposed summary disposition in which we proposed to dismiss. Defendant has filed a memorandum in opposition. After due consideration, we remain unpersuaded that this matter is properly before us. We therefore dismiss.

4 {2} As we previously observed, a guilty plea generally operates as a waiver of the right to appeal the resultant conviction(s) and sentence. State v. Chavarria, 2009- NMSC-020, ¶ 16, 146 N.M. 251, 208 P.3d 896 (“[T]he constitutional right to appeal is waivable, and a defendant who knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily pleads guilty, waives the right to appeal his conviction and sentence.”). In his memorandum in opposition Defendant acknowledges this principle. [MIO 3] Nevertheless, he maintains that the sentence is “unjust and unwarranted,” [MIO 3] and he suggests that counsel’s failure to file a sentencing memorandum may have contributed to this outcome. [MIO 4] Insofar as these arguments are not jurisdictional, [MIO 3] we remain unpersuaded that they are properly before us. See id. ¶¶ 9-10, 18 (observing that appellate review of a sentence is limited to jurisdictional errors where a defendant does not challenge the validity of a plea agreement, and ultimately dismissing an appeal under analogous circumstances); State v. Herrera, 2001-NMCA-073, ¶ 37, 131 17 N.M. 22, 33 P.3d 22 (expressing a preference to habeas corpus proceedings over

1 remand when the record on appeal does not establish a prima facie case of ineffective assistance of counsel).

3 {3} Accordingly, for the reasons stated above and in the notice of proposed summary disposition, we dismiss.

5 {4} IT IS SO ORDERED.
