OPINION

We write for the parties only.

Appellant Keith Stephens pled guilty to a one-count information charging conspiracy to defraud with access devices under 18 U.S.C. § 1029(b)(2). Stephens was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 43 months, which is within the Guidelines range for an offense level of 21. In his plea agreement, Stephens agreed to waive his right to appeal such a sentence.

Stephens argues that the waiver of the right to appeal should be invalidated, as failure to grant him a downward departure results in a miscarriage of justice due to his exceptional circumstances. The miscarriage of justice exception is to be applied sparingly after consideration of the clarity, gravity, and character of the-error, the error’s impact on the parties, and the extent of the defendant’s acquiescence. United States v. Wilson, 429 F.3d 455, 458 (3d Cir. 2005) (citation omitted). There is nothing extraordinary or exceptional about Stephens’s claims of extenuating circum *121 stances as to his youth, first felony offense, cooperation, lack of education, mental and physical state, community ties, and family responsibilities. In any case, the sentencing court heard and considered all such claims, and it is unlikely any error was committed. Thus, this is not an appropriate case for invalidating a waiver of appeal.

Accordingly, appellant’s appeal will be dismissed. 1
