                              ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
                          _________________________________

 Before McHUGH, BRISCOE, and MORITZ, Circuit Judges.
                   _________________________________

       After David A. Jackson entered into a plea agreement that included a waiver of

 his right to appeal, he pleaded guilty to wire fraud, willful failure to pay employment

 taxes, and failure to file an individual tax return. He was sentenced to 46 months in

 prison. Despite his waiver, he has filed a notice of appeal. The government has

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

 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam).

       Hahn sets forth three factors to evaluate an appeal waiver: “(1) whether the

 disputed appeal falls within the scope of the waiver of appellate rights; (2) whether

       *
          This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines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.

 the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights; and (3) whether

 enforcing the waiver would result in a miscarriage of justice.” Id. at 1325. In

 response to the government’s motion, Mr. Jackson, through counsel, has stated that

 he does not object to the dismissal of this appeal pursuant to Hahn.

       We need not address the Hahn factors when the defendant does not dispute

 them. See United States v. Porter, 405 F.3d 1136, 1143 (10th Cir. 2005). In light of

 Mr. Jackson’s concession, the motion to enforce is granted and this appeal is

 dismissed.
