Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern
District of West Virginia, at Clarksburg. Irene M. Keeley, Chief
District Judge. (CR-04-22)
Submitted:
Decided:
- 2 -
PER CURIAM:
Max K. Brady and Brock W. Wilson appeal their convictions
and sentences after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute
Oxycodone in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)(C), 846 (2000).
In light of the valid appellate waiver provisions in their plea
agreements, we dismiss the appeals.
Brady and Wilson made a knowing and voluntary decision to
forego their right to appeal in their plea agreements, see United
States v. Broughton-Jones, 71 F.3d 1143, 1146 (4th Cir. 1995), and
the district court properly reviewed the waiver provisions with
them at their plea hearing.
F.2d 165, 167-68 (4th Cir. 1991); United States v. Wiggins, 905
F.2d 51, 53-54 (4th Cir. 1990). Under these circumstances, we find
Brady and Wilson have waived their right to appeal their sentences.
The Supreme Courts decision in United States v. Booker,
125 S. Ct. 738 (2005), does not alter our decision.
See United
States v. Blick, 408 F.3d 162, 169-70 (4th Cir. 2005) (holding that
