ORDER***

3

The defendants entered into a plea agreement admitting jurisdictional facts and waiving "any right to raise or collaterally attack any matters pertaining to this prosecution and sentence if the sentence imposed is consistent with the terms of this agreement." Consequently, they cannot challenge directly or collaterally the jurisdiction of the district court. United States v. Mathews, 833 F.2d 161, 163 (9th Cir. 1987). In the plea agreement they also agreed "to make restitution to the United States Forest Service, Tonto National Forest, in an amount to be determined by the court." The court has determined the restitution each should make. This court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an appeal. Accordingly, we DISMISS this appeal.

The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 34(a) and Ninth Cir.R. 34-4
