   MEMORANDUM

Luis Antonio Lafarga-Salazar appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 63-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted reentry of a removed alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We dismiss.

Lafarga-Salazar contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable. The government contends that this appeal should be dismissed based on the appeal waiver contained in the parties’ plea agreement. Lafarga-Salazar argues that the appeal waiver cannot be enforced because the district court violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11. We review de novo whether a defendant has waived his right to appeal, and for plain error the adequacy of the plea colloquy because Lafarga-Salazar did not raise a Rule 11 objection in the district court. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 981, 987 (9th Cir.2009). The court properly advised Lafarga-Salazar of the appeal waiver at the plea hearing, see Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(b)(1)(N), and Lafarga-Salazar has failed to show a reasonable probability that, but for any alleged Rule 11 errors, he would not have pleaded guilty, see United States v. Dominguez Benitez, 542 U.S. 74, 76, 124 S.Ct. 2333, 159 L.Ed.2d 157 (2004). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal based on the valid appeal waiver. See Watson, 582 F.3d at 988.

DISMISSED.
