United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Rigoberto Valdez-paredes, Defendant-appellant, 119 F.3d 8 (9th Cir. 1997)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 119 F.3d 8 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted July 14, 1997. **Decided July 18, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, No. CR-96-06741-WDB; William D. Browning, District Judge.

Before: HUG, Chief Judge, KOZINSKI, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Rigoberto Valdez-Paredes appeals his sentence imposed after his conviction for illegal reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Valdez-Paredes contends that the district court erred by refusing to depart downward more that four levels on the basis that Valdez-Paredes conceded deportability in the plea agreement.

We lack jurisdiction over this appeal because in the plea agreement Valdez-Paredes expressly waived his right to appeal any aspect of the conviction or sentence. Valdez-Paredes has not offered anything to suggest that the express waiver was not made knowingly and voluntarily. See United States v. Bolinger, 940 F.2d 480, 480 (9th Cir. 1991).

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
