PER CURIAM:
On July 9, 2004, we affirmed One Male Juvenile’s (“1MJ”)
three-year sentence following his guilty plea to one count of wire
fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (2000). See United States
v. One Male Juvenile, No. 03-4523, 2004 WL 1539632 (4th Cir. July
9, 2004) (unpublished). 1MJ’s attorney filed a brief in accordance
with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and we found no
meritorious issues for appeal. The United States Supreme Court
granted 1MJ’s petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated our
judgment, and remanded the case to this court for further
consideration in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. ,
125 S. Ct. 738 (2005). After considering the parties’ supplemental
briefs, we affirm.
The parties agree that 1MJ waived his right to appeal his
conviction and sentence in a plea agreement that was knowingly and
voluntarily entered. This court determined in United States v.
Blick, 408 F.3d 162 (4th Cir. 2005), that a waiver of the right to
appeal in a plea agreement entered into prior to the Supreme
Court’s decision in United States v. Booker, was not invalidated by
the change in law effected by that case and that Booker error fell
within the scope of Blick’s generic waiver. Blick, 408 F.3d at
169-70. The Government asserts that 1MJ’s sentence should be
affirmed based upon his waiver of appellate rights. We agree and
affirm 1MJ’s sentence because he knowingly and voluntarily waived

appellate review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions of the parties are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
