United States v. Esequiel Hernandez
Opinion
Esequiel Hernandez appeals the reasonableness of the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to conspiracy to posses with intent to distribute marijuana. The Government has invoked the appellate waiver provision contained in his written plea agreement. See United States v. Acquaye, 452 F.3d 380, 381-82 (5th Cir. 2006). Our review of the record reveals that the waiver was knowing and voluntary and that under the plain language of the plea agreement, it applies to the circumstances at issue. See United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 544 (5th Cir. 2005). Consequently, the waiver bars the instant appeal.
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
