United States v. Lopez

193 F. App'x 726

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Jose Antonio Lopez appeals from the 36-month sentence imposed following a guilty-plea conviction for bringing in an illegal alien for financial gain, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(ii).

A review of the record indicates that Lopez knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal and was sentenced within the terms of the plea agreement. We therefore enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered knowingly and voluntarily); see also United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir.2005) (noting that the changes in sentencing law imposed by United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), did not render waiver of appeal involuntary and unknowing).

DISMISSED.
