Paul James Wickham, also known * as James Floyd Woodruff, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. *

___________ Submitted: April 24, 1996 Filed: April 29, 1996 ___________ Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS S. ARNOLD, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Paul James Wickham appeals from the 90-month sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and using or carrying a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking offense. We have carefully reviewed the record and conclude Wickham knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal by the undertakings in his plea agreement and his statements at the change-of-plea hearing. See United States v. Rutan, 956 F.2d 827, 829 (8th Cir. 1992).

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

The Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota.
