Criminal: Sentencing-Appeal Waiver
Staff Report//January 2, 2019
Where a defendant challenged his sentence in a firearm case, the appeal waiver was enforceable because the record showed that the defendant entered into the plea agreement and waiver knowingly and voluntarily, his challenge to the sentence fell within the scope of the waiver and no miscarriage of justice would result from enforcement, so the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
Judgment is affirmed.
