for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Benjamin Kirby appeals his conviction and 188-month sentence
imposed by the district court following his guilty plea to
possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, in violation of
21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (2000). Because we conclude that Kirby’s
waiver of his appellate rights was knowing and voluntary, we
dismiss his appeal. See United States v. Attar, 38 F.3d 727, 731
(4th Cir. 1994). We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
