John W. Perko, Jr., * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: May 30, 1997 Filed: June 11, 1997 ___________ Before WOLLMAN, MAGILL, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

John W. Perko, Jr. appeals the sentences imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty in separate proceedings to assault and firearm charges. Counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and was granted leave to withdraw. Perko was given an opportunity to file a supplemental brief, but did not do so. We dismiss the appeals, as both of the written plea agreements contained a waiver of Perko’s
