United States v. Davis
United States v. Davis
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Barclay Davis appeals his 30-month sentence imposed after his guilty plea conviction for conspiracy and money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 & 1957. Because Davis waived his right to appeal in his plea agreement, we lack jurisdiction and dismiss. See United States v. Vences, 169 F.3d 611, 613 (9th Cir. 1999).
We reject Davis’s contention that the appeal waiver contained in the plea agreement is invalid because the district court did not specifically question him about it during the Fed.R.Crim.P. 11 plea colloquy. See United States v. Michlin, 34 F.3d 896, 898 (9th Cir. 1994) (“so long as the plea agreement contains an express waiver of appellate rights, a Rule 11 colloquy concerning the waiver is not required”).
We also reject Davis’s contention that the appeal waiver is invalid because the government breached the plea agreement by (1) failing to present fully the extent and importance of his assistance in its motion for a downward departure based on substantial assistance pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1, and (2) arguing that he should not receive credit for time served on house arrest. Because Davis did not raise these issues in the district court, we will not consider them on appeal. See United States v. Robertson, 52 F.3d 789, 791 (9th Cir. 1994) (explaining that a claim of breach of plea agreement is fact-specific and therefore is “the sort of claim which a defendant ordinarily will recognize immediately and should be required to raise when the alleged breach can still be repaired”) (internal quotation omitted).
DISMISSED.
