UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Rafael HERNANDEZ-TALAVERA, aka Daniel Armenta, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 03-30535.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted June 14, 2005.
    
    Decided June 22, 2005.
    Before: KLEINFELD, TASHIMA, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Rafael Hernandez-Talavera appeals from his sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction for distribution of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841 § (a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. § 2. We dismiss the appeal.

When Talavera entered into the plea agreement with the government, he waived his right to appeal “from the conviction and sentence unless the sentence imposed exceeds the statutory maximum or the court imposes an upward departure from the applicable guideline range.” Talavera’s sentence does not exceed the statutory maximum and the court did not impose an upward departure. His appeal waiver is enforceable and deprives us of jurisdiction. See United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir.2005).

DISMISSED.
