ORDER***
Defendant Chet Singh Sidhu pled guilty to one count of bribery of a public official, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 201(b) (1) (c). In the plea agreement, Sidhu freely and voluntarily waived several rights, including the right to appeal adverse determinations of pretrial motions and the right to appeal a verdict of guilty if the matter were to go to trial.
We have held a defendant's waiver of his or her right to appeal to be generally enforceable. See United States v. Torres, No. 92-50549, 1993 WL 267487, at * 1 (9th Cir.

Accordingly, Sidhu's appeal is dismissed.
DISMISSED.
