  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

        Plaintiff - Appellee,

  v.                                                          No. 23-1003
                                                   (D.C. No. 1:21-CR-00316-DDD-1)
  ANTHONY GORDAN DILWORTH,                                     (D. Colo.)

        Defendant - Appellant.

                              ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
                          _________________________________

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

       Anthony Gordan Dilworth pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a

 firearm and ammunition and received a 63-month prison sentence. He has appealed

 from that sentence, but his plea agreement contains an appeal waiver. The

 government now moves to enforce that waiver under United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d

 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc). Dilworth has filed a response through

 counsel, and he concedes the appeal waiver is enforceable.

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          This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines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

       When deciding a motion to enforce an appeal waiver, we normally ask:

 “(1) whether the disputed appeal falls within the scope of the waiver of appellate

 rights; (2) whether 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. But we need not address those factors because Dilworth’s concession

 includes a statement that the Hahn factors do not negate the appeal waiver. See

 United States v. Porter, 405 F.3d 1136, 1143 (10th Cir. 2005) (noting that court need

 not address uncontested Hahn factors).

       We grant the government’s motion and dismiss this appeal.
