Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Adan Ceja-Lugo appeals his conviction and 55-month sentence imposed following his unconditional guilty plea to illegal reentry following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a).

We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because Ceja-Lugo entered into a negotiated plea agreement in which he knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal or collaterally attack his conviction and sentence. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182-83 (9th Cir. 2000) (recognizing that courts will enforce waiver of appeal rights when waiver is knowing and voluntary).

DISMISSED.
