Troy Fairbanks, * * Defendant - Appellant. * [PUBLISHED] ___________ Submitted: May 1, 1998 Filed: May 21, 1998 ___________ Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Troy Fairbanks appeals from the 210-month sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to drug charges. The government has moved to dismiss Fairbanks&s appeal, correctly noting that Fairbanks waived his right to appeal his sentence in the plea agreement.

The appeal is dismissed.
