United States v. Wallace

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-10211 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus KELLY DENISE WALLACE, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:99-CR-108-7-H -------------------- December 13, 2000 Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Kelly Denise Wallace appeals her sentence after pleading guilty to separate drug and money-laundering conspiracies.

Specifically, she challenges the district court’s assessment of a two-level sentence enhancement for obstruction of justice. The Government points out that Wallace waived the right to appeal her sentence as part of her plea agreement. Because a review of the record, particularly the transcript of Wallace’s second guilty- plea hearing, indicates that her waiver was informed and voluntary, she is foreclosed from challenging her sentence. See * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 00-10211 -2- United States v. Melancon, 972 F.2d 566, 567-68 (5th Cir. 1992).

Accordingly, her appeal is DISMISSED. See id. at 568; 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
