United States v. Alvaro Santos-Juateco

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Alvaro Santos-Juateco appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 34-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for being a removed alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We dismiss.

Santos-Juateco contends that the district court erred by applying a 16-level sentencing enhancement, imposing a term of supervised release, and finding his criminal history not to be over-represented. The government argues that the appeal should be dismissed based on an appeal waiver contained in the plea agreement. We review de novo whether to enforce an appeal waiver. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 981 (9th Cir. 2009). Under the terms of the appeal waiver, Santos-Juateco waived any right to appeal his sentence, and we therefore dismiss this appeal. See id. at 986, 988.

DISMISSED.
