Sean Aaron Mims pled guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2252A(a)(5)(B) (West 2000 & Supp. 2008), and was sentenced to the statutory maximum term of 120 months on each count, with the sentences partially concurrent and partially consecutive, for a total sentence of 168 months imprisonment. Under the terms of his plea agreement, Mims waived his right to appeal any sentence within the statutory maximum “on the grounds set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742 or on any ground whatsoever.” Mims now seeks to contest the calculation of his advisory guideline range, challenging a five-level enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2G2.2 (b)(5) (2006), on the ground that the conduct underlying the enhancement was a separate crime. The government has moved to dismiss the appeal based on the waiver of appeal rights.

Mims concedes that he waived his right to appeal and that the waiver was knowing and voluntary. See United States v. Brown, 232 F.3d 399, 402-06 (4th Cir. 2000). He contends that the issue he seeks to raise is not within the scope of the waiver. We disagree.

We therefore grant the government’s motion to dismiss and 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.
