                The appellant’s last name is “Benard,” but the parties and the pleading captions
persistently refer to the appellant as “Bernard.”
with intent to distribute. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We

affirm.

      Benard’s plea and plea agreement bar this appeal. United States v.

Jeronimo, 398 F.3d 1149, 1152–53 (9th Cir. 2011). The record establishes that his

plea and corresponding waiver of his right to appeal was knowing and voluntary.

United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1260 (9th Cir. 2011).

      AFFIRMED.
