ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF OHIO
BEFORE: COOK, GRIFFIN, and KETHLEDGE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Adam Beetz appeals the district court’s judgment of conviction and
sentence.
Beetz was charged with several drug and firearm offenses. After the district court denied his
motion to suppress certain evidence, Beetz, pursuant to a plea agreement, pleaded guilty to
conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and
846, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 924(c). The district court sentenced him to consecutive prison terms of ten and sixty months,
respectively.
On appeal, Beetz argues that the district court erred by denying his motion to suppress.
However, Beetz is barred from raising the suppression issue on appeal because he did not preserve

his right to do so in his written plea agreement or otherwise make clear that he wished to preserve
his right to appeal the issue. See United States v. Young, 580 F.3d 373, 376 (6th Cir. 2009).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.
