  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

        Plaintiff - Appellee,

  v.                                                         No. 23-6188

  DRESHAWN EDWARD SMITH,                                     (W.D. Okla.)

                       _________________________________

                              ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
                          _________________________________

 Before HOLMES, Chief Judge, EID, and FEDERICO, Circuit Judges.
                    _________________________________

       Dreshawn Edward Smith pleaded guilty to a drug-trafficking offense and

 received a sentence within the advisory sentencing guidelines range. Despite an

 appeal waiver in his plea agreement, he filed this appeal. The government moves to

 enforce the appeal waiver pursuant to United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315, 1328

 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc). In response, Mr. Smith “concedes, after reviewing the

 record on appeal, that the appellate waiver in his Plea Agreement applies and that no

 exception set forth in [Hahn] negates enforcement of that waiver.” Resp. at 1. Based

       *
          This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines
 of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for
 its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
Appellate Case: 23-6188   Document: 010111004601       Date Filed: 02/23/2024   Page: 2

 on Mr. Smith’s concession, we grant the government’s motion to enforce the appeal

 waiver and dismiss this appeal.
