Z.W.C., a juvenile female, appeals from an adjudication of juvenile

11-30137 2
§ 1512(b)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we dismiss.
Z.W.C. pleaded true pursuant to a written agreement that included an appeal
waiver, but she contends that the waiver is not enforceable because her sentence
violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
This contention lacks merit. See United States v. Meiners, 485 F.3d 1211, 1212-13
(9th Cir. 2007) (per curiam). We therefore enforce the valid appeal waiver. See
United States v. Bibler, 495 F.3d 621, 623-24 (9th Cir. 2007).
DISMISSED.
