   MEMORANDUM

Alonso Gonzalez Sarmiento appeals from the 48-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for conspiracy to manufacture, to possess with the intent to distribute, and to distribute marijuana, ■ in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we dismiss.

Sarmiento contends that his sentence is procedurally and substantively unreasonable. We decline to reach this contention in light of the valid appeal waiver in Sarmiento’s plea agreement. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000).

Sarmiento’s contention that the appeal waiver is not enforceable because the government breached the covenant of good faith implicit in the plea agreement and took inconsistent positions is not supported by the record.

DISMISSED.
