United States v. Gilberto Gonzales

MEMORANDUM

Gilberto Gonzales appeals from the 240-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(b)(1)(A), and money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956 (a)(3)(A) and (B). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.

Gonzales concedes that he waived his right to appeal his sentence, but contends that the waiver does not apply because his sentence violates the law. Because the sentence imposed by the district court neither exceeds the permissible statutory penalty for the crime, nor violates the Constitution, Gonzales’s appeal is barred by a valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Bibler, 495 F.3d 621, 624 (9th Cir.2007); United States v. Jordan, 256 F.3d 922, 928 (9th Cir.2001).

DISMISSED.
