Kum Soon Yoo appeals from the 97-month sentence imposed following her

Yoo contends that the district court erred when determining her base offense
level because it improperly attributed at least 1.5 kilograms of “ice” to her and
failed to require the government to prove the quantity and purity of the drugs
beyond a reasonable doubt. However, her intentional withdrawal of her objection
regarding this issue constitutes a waiver for purposes of appeal. See United States
v. Streich, 560 F.3d 926, 930 n.1 (9th Cir. 2009); see also United States v. Olano,
507 U.S. 725, 733 (1993) (“Whereas forfeiture is the failure to make the timely
assertion of a right, waiver is the intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a
known right.”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
DISMISSED.
