United States v. Smith
Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Ronell Smith appeals, arguing that the District Court erred by denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea which was made as part of a plea agreement. Because our opinion is wholly without prece-dential value, and because the parties and the District Court are familiar with its operative facts, we offer only an abbreviated recitation to explain why we will dismiss this appeal.
At the plea hearing, the District Court conducted a proper colloquy with Smith, inquiring about his understanding of the criminal charge and the applicable sen
From all of this we conclude that, through his plea agreement, Smith knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal. While we have jurisdiction, it has been our practice to refrain from exercising it except where it would result in a miscarriage of justice. U.S. v. Shedrick, 493 F.3d 292, 297 (3d Cir. 2007). For the above stated reasons, we will dismiss this appeal.
