United States v. Andrei Mirel

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Andrei Mirel, 486 F. App'x 663 (9th Cir. 2012)

United States v. Andrei Mirel

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Andrei Mirel appeals from the 38-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction to improper entry by an alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a); use of a false or altered passport, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1543; and wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. We dismiss.

*664 Mirel contends that the district erred by relying on the presentence report, rather than the parties’ stipulation, to determine the loss amount under U.S.S.G. § 2B 1.1(b)(1), and by imposing a substantively unreasonable sentence. We are precluded from reaching the merits of Mirel’s claim by a valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 988 (9th Cir. 2009). Contrary to Mirel’s contention, the district court did not impose a sentence that exceeds the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range as determined by the court that would trigger one of the appeal waiver exceptions set forth in the plea agreement.

DISMISSED.
