United States v. Flores-Sandoval

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Flores-Sandoval, 211 F. App'x 655 (9th Cir. 2006)

United States v. Flores-Sandoval

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM**

Rafael Flores-Sandoval appeals from the 33-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846.

Because a review of the record indicates that Flores-Sandoval knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal and was sentenced within the terms of the plea agreement, we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. 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); see also United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir. 2005) (noting that changes in sentencing law imposed by United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), did not render waiver of appeal involuntary and unknowing).

DISMISSED.
