   MEMORANDUM

Jason Apela Gonsalves appeals the 150-month sentence imposed after his conviction, following a guilty plea, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute in excess of 50 grams of methamphetamine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We dismiss in light of the valid written appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered knowingly and voluntarily); United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir.2005) (holding that the changes in sentencing law imposed by United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), did not render waiver of appeal involuntary and unknowing).

DISMISSED.
