ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

Before BACHARACH, McHUGH, and EID, Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
Isaias Cabello pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 500 grams and
more of cocaine. The district court sentenced him to 20 months in prison, which was
below the advisory sentencing guidelines range of 30 to 37 months. He filed a notice of

rights; and (3) whether enforcing the waiver would result in a miscarriage of justice.”
Id. at 1325. The government argues that all the Hahn conditions are established here.
Cabello responds through counsel that he “does not oppose the government’s
motion to enforce the appeal waiver pursuant to his plea agreement.” Resp. at 1. We
therefore grant the motion and dismiss this appeal.
