PER CURIAM:
Christopher Brit Beebe seeks to appeal his conviction and
97-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute controlled
substances, 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(E) (2012), and
possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking
crime, 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i) (2012). In its brief, the
Government argues that the appeal should be dismissed as barred
by Beebe’s waiver of the right to appeal included in the plea
agreement. Upon review of the plea agreement and the transcript
of the Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 hearing, we conclude that Beebe
knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to appeal and that
the issues Beebe seeks to raise on appeal fall squarely within
the compass of his waiver of appellate rights. We reject
Beebe’s assertion that the Government breached the plea
agreement. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
