UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kenneth Harold HARRINGTON, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 03-20523.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    March 17, 2004.
    Paula Camille Offenhauser, James Lee Turner, Assistant US Attorneys, US Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for PlaintiffAppellee.
    Roland E Dahlin, II, Federal Public Defender, Aurora Ruth Bearse, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before REAVLEY, JOLLY and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Kenneth Harold Harrington appeals from his sentence for two counts of armed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a), (d) and one count of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A). Harrington argues that he may challenge his sentence despite his waiver of his right to appeal.

This court reviews de novo whether a waiver of appeal bars an appeal. United States v. Baymon, 312 F.3d 725, 727 (5th Cir.2002). Harrington’s sentence did not exceed the statutory maximum, and the Government had requested that the district court depart upward from the guideline range. Neither of the two exceptions to the waiver of appeal applies in this case. Harrington knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal his sentence. See United States v. Portillo, 18 F.3d 290, 292-93 (5th Cir.1994); see also United States v. Dees, 125 F.3d 261, 269 (5th Cir.1997). Harrington’s waiver of appeal is enforceable and bars the present appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
