Opinion:
SUMMARY ORDER
Defendant-appellant Aurelio Berber Ma-gana appeals from the judgment of conviction entered by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Cote, J.), principally sentencing him to 151 months of imprisonment. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.
On May 8, 2009, pursuant to a written plea agreement, Berber pleaded guilty to Count One of the operative indictment, charging him with conspiring to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 812, 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846. The plea agreement contained an appeal-waiver provision, under which Berber agreed not to "file a direct appeal, nor litigate under Title 28, United States Code, Section 2255 and/or Section 2241, any sentence within or below the Stipulated Guidelines Range" of 151 to 188 months of imprisonment.
On appeal, Berber contends that the appeal-waiver provision is unenforceable because of the government's conduct. See United States v. Gomez-Perez, 215 F.3d 315, 319 (2d Cir.2000) (explaining that "a defendant may have a valid claim that the waiver of appellate rights is unenforceable . when the government breached the plea agreement"). But the government's conduct — in its written sentencing submission and at the sentencing proceeding— was fully consistent with the government's contractual obligations and wholly appropriate in response to the arguments raised by Berber. Accordingly, the appeal-waiver provision is enforceable and Berber's appeal is dismissed.
We have considered all of Berber's contentions on this appeal and have found them to be without merit. Accordingly, the appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
