UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT __________

No. 12-4523 ___________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CRAIG A. GRIMES, Appellant __________

On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (D.C. No. 12-cr-00019) District Judge: Honorable Yvette Kane ___________

Argued November 13, 2013

Before: HARDIMAN, SHWARTZ, and SCIRICA Circuit Judges. __________

ORDER AMENDING OPINION __________

At the direction of the Court, it is hereby ORDERED that the Section IV of the opinion is amended as follows:

In sum, we hold that Craig Grimes knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal his sentence. His valid appellate waiver is unaffected by the waiver of his right to collaterally attack his sentence, and to enforce his appellate waiver would not work a miscarriage of justice. Accordingly, we will enforce the waiver and affirm the judgment of the District Court.

For the Court,

Marcia M. Waldron, Clerk Date: January 7, 2014 tmm/cc: all counsel of record
