FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee, 

v.

BISHOP ALAMADAE DURAN, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 24-1329

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

_________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, McHUGH, and FEDERICO, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

Bishop Alamadae Duran pleaded guilty to one count of transportation of child 

pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(1) and (b)(1), and one count of 

possession of child pornography, in violation of § 2252A(a)(5)(B) and (b)(2). The 

district court sentenced him to 180 months’ imprisonment on the transportation count 

and 120 months’ imprisonment on the possession count, to be served concurrently. 

Although his plea agreement contains an appeal waiver, Mr. Duran appealed. 

The government moves to enforce the appeal waiver under United States v. Hahn, 

359 F.3d 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam). In response, Mr. Duran 

* This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines 

of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for 

its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.

states that his counsel “acknowledges the appeal waiver is enforceable,” and that 

after consulting with counsel, he “does not contest the government’s Motion to 

Enforce.” Aplt. Resp. at 1. Accordingly, we grant the government’s motion to 

enforce the appeal waiver and dismiss this appeal.
