United States v. Thompson, No. 22-1011 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit dismissed Appellant's appeal from his conviction and sentence, holding that Appellant's waiver of appeal in the plea agreement was valid and enforceable.
Appellant was charged with drug- and firearm-related offenses, and the parties entered a plea agreement in which Appellant agreed to plead guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. The agreement included an appeal waiver provision that applied if the district court sentenced Appellant to an eight-year-or-less incarcerative term. On appeal, Appellant attempted to challenge the application of two sentencing enhancements. The First Circuit dismissed the appeal, holding that the appeal waiver contained in Appellant's plea agreement was valid and enforceable, precluding this appeal.
