Flores-Mendoza

MEMORANDUM **

Flores-Mendoza was convicted of illegal reentry after deportation. He received a sentence of 40 months imprisonment followed by 36 months of supervised release and a special assessment of $100.00. As part of his plea agreement, he waived his right to appeal. He now contends “that there was no discussion during the plea proceedings referring specifically to the *501 waiver of the appeal of his sentence. The court merely referred to the written plea agreement.” The court, however, stated:

Because the record clearly indicates that Flores-Mendoza understood the significance of the appellate waiver, and he presents no valid argument why it should not be given effect, his appeal is dismissed.

Counsel’s request to withdraw from further representation of the appellant in this matter is granted.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
