 v.

RIGOBERTO TOSCANO, also known as Rigo,

Defendant - Appellant

______________________________________________________________________________

On Appeal from the United States District Court for the

Western District of Texas

(SA-00-CR-605-4)

______________________________________________________________________________

Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, DAVIS, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.1

Roberto Toscano challenges the factual basis for his guilty plea to one count of conspiracy

to distribute in excess of 1,000 kilograms of marijuana. There is, however, no nonfrivolous issue

for appeal with respect to Toscano’s conviction because as part of his written plea agreement,

Toscano validly waived his right to directly appeal his sentence. See United States v. Portillo, 18

F.3d 290, 292 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
