(D. Colo.) JORDAN MICHAEL RATZLAFF,

Defendant - Appellant.

_________________________________ ORDER AND JUDGMENT * _________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, BACHARACH, and FEDERICO, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________ Jordan Michael Ratzlaff pleaded guilty to bank robbery, carjacking, and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. The district court sentenced him to 162 months in prison. He filed a notice of appeal.

Mr. Ratzlaff’s plea agreement contains an appeal waiver, which the government now moves to enforce under United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc). Mr. Ratzlaff responds that, after “fully discuss[ing]” the motion with counsel, he “does not object to the government’s Motion.” Resp. at 1.

Appellate Case: 25-1435 Document: 22-1 Date Filed: 02/26/2026 Page: 2 Based on Mr. Ratzlaff’s non-opposition, we grant the government’s motion and dismiss this appeal.

Per Curiam

* This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel.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.
