Summary Calendar

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

DANIEL EASLEY,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Mississippi

No. 2:03-CR-4-ALL-P

--------------------

Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Daniel Easley appeals his sentence following his guilty plea

conviction of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more

than 100 kilograms of marihuana. He argues that the district court

erred in finding that he possessed a firearm during the offense for

purposes of U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1) and erred in concluding that he

was ineligible for the “safety valve” reduction of U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2.

As part of his written plea agreement, Easley agreed to waive

the right to appeal his conviction and sentence. The district

court personally addressed Easley and admonished him regarding his

waiver; Easley stated that he understood the waiver. Thus, he

knowingly and voluntarily waived the right to appeal his sentence.

See United States v. Robinson, 187 F.3d 516, 517-18 (5th Cir.

1999). Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED as waived.
