ORDER*

2
A defendant's knowing and voluntary waiver of his or her right to appeal a sentence as part of a negotiated plea agreement does not violate due process or public policy.   United States v. Navarro-Botello, 912 F.2d 318, 319 (9th Cir.1990), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 1488 (1992);   United States v. Abarca, 985 F.2d 1012, 1013 (9th Cir.1993);   United States v. DeSantiago-Martinez, 980 F.2d 582, 582 (9th Cir.1992).

3
Defendant Somchai Amasuda's written plea agreement stated:  "The defendant agrees to waive any right to appeal any sentence falling within the applicable Sentencing Guideline range."   Plea Agrmt. at 4, p 6 (emphasis added).  Because Amasuda's sentence fell within the applicable Sentencing Guideline range, his appeal is hereby ordered DISMISSED.
