Appeal waivers are enforceable, subject to a few limited exceptions, as long as they are entered into by the defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. United States v. Guillen, 561 F.3d 527, 529-31 (D.C.Cir. 2009). On appeal,. Fernandez offers no challenge to the validity of his appeal waiver. His opening brief makes no mention of the waiver. And he did not file a reply brief after the Government, in its brief as appellee, expressly requested enforcement of the appeal waiver. In light of the appeal waiver, we dismiss Fernandez’s appeal.
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc. See Fed. RApp. P. 41(b); D.C.Cir. R. 41.
