Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Julio Rivera-Garcia appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to illegal re-entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), with a sentencing enhancement pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). Rivera-Garcia contends that the district court erred in denying his request for a downward departure under U.S.S.G. § 5K1.16 on account of his voluntary surrender.
In the plea agreement, Rivera-Garcia expressly waived his right to appeal the judgment and sentence. Because there is no indication in the record, and Rivera-Garcia does not contend, that the waiver was not knowing and voluntary, United States v. Anglin, 215 F.3d 1064 (9th Cir.2000), we enforce the waiver and dismiss the appeal.
DISMISSED.
