United States v. Dunn

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Corey D. Dunn appeals his conviction by guilty plea for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). He contends that the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the indictment for failure to bring him to trial within the 180-day period specified by the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act. The government contends that Dunn waived his right to appeal. We dismiss the appeal.

In his plea agreement, Dunn waived his right to appeal his conviction. In addition, “an unconditional guilty plea constitutes a *309waiver of the right to appeal all non-juris-dietional antecedent rulings and cures all antecedent constitutional defects.” United States v. Lopez-Armenta, 400 F.3d 1173, 1175 (9th Cir. 2005). Dunn’s plea agreement provided for a stipulated sentence but was otherwise unconditional.

Dunn argues that his waiver of appeal was superceded when at sentencing the district court orally informed him that he had a right to appeal from his conviction. This confusion was not contemporaneous with the guilty plea and waiver. We therefore enforce the waiver. See id. at 1176-77.

DISMISSED.
