Wolpert Clerk of Court UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. No. 25-5042 (D.C. No. 4:22-CR-00206-JDR-1) JOSHUA WAYNE WILLIS, (N.D. Okla.) Defendant - Appellant. _________________________________ ORDER AND JUDGMENT * _________________________________ Before HARTZ, MATHESON, and FEDERICO, Circuit Judges. _________________________________ Pursuant to a plea agreement containing an appeal waiver, Joshua Wayne Willis pleaded guilty to kidnapping in Indian Country. The district court sentenced him to 120 months in prison, which was within the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range.

Mr. Willis appealed, and the government now moves to enforce the appeal waiver. See United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam). In response, Mr. Willis states that he “does not object to the dismissal of this direct appeal pursuant to the government’s Motion to Enforce Appeal Waiver

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines * of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
