Charles A. Ross appeals from the criminal judgment imposed after he pled guilty to possession of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. He received a 169-month sentence. On appeal, Ross argues that the district court erred in sentencing him because he is entitled to an additional one-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility and that the Government breached the plea agreement by failing to move for the additional reduction for acceptance of responsibility. The Government responds that Ross waived his right to appeal and that the waiver should be enforced. We agree with the Government and dismiss the appeal.

Where it is determined that the Government has breached its obligations under a plea agreement, the defendant is released from any appeal waiver set forth in the plea agreement. United States v. Bowe, 257 F.3d 336, 342 (4th Cir. 2001). Our review of the record and the applicable law reveals that the Government did not breach the plea agreement with Ross. Because Ross’ sentence places him within the scope of the appeal waiver, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
