Wolpert Clerk of Court UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. No. 23-1184 (D.C. No. 1:20-CR-00292-WJM-2) AZUSENA MARIBEL SIERRA, (D.

She was sentenced to 288 months’ imprisonment. Although her plea agreement contained a waiver of her appellate rights, she filed a notice of appeal.

Based on this concession, we grant the government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver and dismiss the appeal.
