Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Michael Anthony Yurosko appeals his guilty plea conviction and 60-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).
In his plea agreement Yurosko waived the right to appeal his conviction and sentence, as long as the sentence imposed was consistent with statutory and guideline provisions. Yurosko's 60-month sentence is consistent with the maximum statutory penalty of 120 months. 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2) (2003). It also is within the applicable guideline range of 57-71 months, because the district court properly treated his two prior drug conviction as unrelated. See United States v. Gallegos-Gonzalez, 3 F.3d 325, 328 (9th Cir.1993). Therefore, the appeal waiver applies, and we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Anglin, 215 F.3d 1064, 1066 (9th Cir. 2000).
The district court had a sufficient factual basis to accept Yurosko's guilty plea because he admitted his prior felony conviction at the change of plea hearing.
DISMISSED.
