Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Goar Alibalian appeals from the 72-month sentence imposed following her guilty-plea conviction for health care fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1347. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Alibalian contends that the appeal waiver in her plea agreement does not preclude this appeal because her sentence violates the Ex Post Facto Clause, and is thus illegal. This contention lacks merit. See United States v. Guzman-Bruno, 27 F.3d 420, 422-23 (9th Cir.1994); United States v. Morales, 11 F.3d 915, 917-18 (9th Cir.1993). We therefore enforce the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir.2005); see also United States v. Bibler, 495 F.3d 621, 624 (9th Cir.2007).

AFFIRMED.
