v.

ESEQUIEL HERNANDEZ,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:02-CR-1114-1

Before JONES, DENNIS, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Esequiel Hernandez appeals the reasonableness of the sentence imposed
following his guilty plea to conspiracy to posses with intent to distribute
marijuana.      The Government has invoked the appellate waiver provision
contained in his written plea agreement. See United States v. Acquaye, 452 F.3d
380, 381-82 (5th Cir. 2006). Our review of the record reveals that the waiver
was knowing and voluntary and that under the plain language of the plea
agreement, it applies to the circumstances at issue. See United States v. Bond,

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

                               No. 12-50029

414 F.3d 542, 544 (5th Cir. 2005). Consequently, the waiver bars the instant
appeal.
     AFFIRMED.
