United States v. Brianna Borga

698 F. App'x 482
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit·Decided September 29, 2017·No. 16-10470·Unpublished

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Brianna Beth Borga appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 36-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for importation of a quantity of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a) and 960(a)(1) and (b)(3). We dismiss.

*483 Borga argues that the district court procedurally erred by miscalculating the Guidelines range. The government contends that this appeal is barred by a valid appeal waiver. We review de novo whether a defendant has waived her right to appeal. See United States v. Harris, 628 F.3d 1203, 1205 (9th Cir. 2011). The terms of the appeal waiver in Borga’s plea agreement unambiguously encompass the claims raised in this appeal. See id. at 1205-06. Contrary to Borga’s contention, the record reflects that she. waived her appellate rights knowingly and voluntarily. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-87 (9th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we dis- • miss pursuant to the valid waiver. See Harris, 628 F.3d at 1207.

DISMISSED.
