United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal of sentence imposed in absentia, in a case in which the defendant disappeared and lost contact with his lawyer after he signed a plea agreement and entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, the appeal is dismissed where the sentence imposed by the district court was not unlawful, and thus, the valid appeal waiver contained in the defendant's plea agreement was properly applied.
