Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Danny Wayne Bell seeks to appeal his sentence of 46 months’
imprisonment after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession
of a firearm. Bell waived his right to appeal his sentence in
his plea agreement, except in limited circumstances. See United
States v. Melancon, 972 F.2d 566, 568 (5th Cir. 1992). Such
circumstances are not implicated by the current appeal. Bell’s
reliance on United States v. Goodman, 165 F.3d 169 (2nd Cir.),
cert. denied, 120 S. Ct. 318 (1999) is unavailing because Goodman
is not controlling and is distinguishable.
