Roosevelt Hunter, Jr., Appellant, 111 F.3d 136 (8th Cir. 1997)
Annotate this CaseBefore BOWMAN, WOLLMAN, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Roosevelt Hunter, Jr. challenges the sentence the district court1 imposed after he pleaded guilty to drug and firearms offenses. The government argues the appeal should be dismissed because Hunter agreed in the plea agreement to waive his right to appeal. We agree. We have held that a promise made in a plea agreement is binding on a defendant and may be specifically enforced by the government. See United States v. His Law, 85 F.3d 379, 379 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). We therefore specifically enforce Hunter's promise against him by dismissing his appeal.
The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Minnesota
