PER CURIAM:
Alfred Charles Chung pled guilty to one count of illegal re-
entry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C.A. § 1326(a) (West
1999). Chung now appeals his eighty-month sentence, contending
that the district court abused its discretion in ordering that his
federal sentence run consecutively to his undischarged state terms
of incarceration. After a thorough review of the record, including
Chung’s plea agreement with the Government and the transcript of
his hearing pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11, we conclude that Chung
knowingly and intelligently waived his right to appeal his sen-
tence, which was well below the statutory maximum and at the lower
end of the guideline range applicable in his case. See United
States v. Broughton-Jones, 71 F.3d 1143, 1146 (4th Cir. 1995);
United States v. Marin, 961 F.2d 493, 496 (4th Cir. 1992).
We therefore find that Chung is barred from asserting his
sentencing claim on appeal by virtue of his valid appeal waiver.
We dismiss Chung’s appeal and dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
