United States v. Keele, No. 12-10551 (5th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to a superseding information charging him with removing property to prevent seizure and aiding and abetting. On appeal, defendant challenged the district court's restitution order. The court concluded, after reviewing the whole of the record, that defendant's valid appeal waiver did in fact bar his right to appeal the restitution order. The court also concluded that defendant waived his Eighth Amendment claims because the appeal waiver in defendant's signed, written plea agreement waived his right to appeal his sentence with only three specific exceptions. Accordingly, the court dismissed the appeal.
