Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Raymond Bentley appeals the 135-month guidelines sentence that he received after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. Bentley asserts that he did not validly waive his right to appeal. Although the Government initially indicated its intent to enforce the appeal waiver, it now acknowledges that it agreed to strike the waiver provision in the district court. Consequently, there is no appeal waiver to enforce. Bentley, however, has failed to brief adequately any challenge to the validity of the sentence. See Fed. R.App. P. 28(a)(9)(A); Edmond v. Collins, 8 F.3d 290, 292 n. 5 (5th Cir.1993). Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
. Nothing in our decision prevents Bentley from filing a motion for a reduced sentence with the District Court pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c).
