UNITED STATES v. PEREZ RAMIREZ (2021)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

After entering into a plea agreement that included a waiver of his right to appeal, Eber Uriel Perez-Ramirez pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of a substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(viii), and 846. After he was sentenced to 126 months in prison, below the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range, he appealed. 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 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. Mr. Perez-Ramirez, through counsel, concedes that he “has no grounds to oppose the government's motion.” Aplt. Resp. at 2.

We need not address a Hahn factor that the defendant does not dispute. See United States v. Porter, 405 F.3d 1136, 1143 (10th Cir. 2005). In light of Mr. Perez-Ramirez's concession, the motion to enforce is granted and this appeal is dismissed.
