United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Israel Montijo-coronado, Defendant-appellant, 107 F.3d 18 (9th Cir. 1997)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 107 F.3d 18 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted Jan. 21, 1997. *Decided Jan. 27, 1997

Before: O'SCANNLAIN, LEAVY and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Israel Montijo-Coronado appeals his sentence under the Sentencing Guidelines imposed following his guilty plea to possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1). We dismiss.

Montijo-Coronado contends that the district court erred by adjusting his offense level upward for using a firearm in connection with the offense and for being an organizer of criminal activity involving five or more participants. In his plea agreement, Montijo-Coronado waived "any right to appeal the imposition of sentence upon him under Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742 (sentence appeals), so long as the sentence does not exceed the applicable guideline range." The district court sentenced Montijo-Coronado at the bottom of the applicable guideline range. We therefore dismiss this appeal in accordance with Montijo-Coronado's waiver of the right to appeal in his plea agreement. See United States v. Baramdyka, 95 F.3d 840, 843 (9th Cir. 1996).

DISMISSED.
