MEMORANDUM **

Jose Santa Maria-Arellano appeals from the 60-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(l)(B)(iii). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered into knowingly and voluntarily); United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir. 2005) (holding that the changes in sentencing law imposed by United States v. Booker, — U.S. —, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), did not render waiver of appeal involuntary and unknowing).

DISMISSED.
