Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Carol Ann Lee pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute and
possess with intent to distribute five grams or more of
methamphetamine, 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2000), and was sentenced to the
mandatory minimum term of five years imprisonment. Under the terms
of her plea agreement, Lee waived the right to appeal “whatever
sentence is imposed,” and specifically waived the “right to appeal
from any sentence within or below the advisory guidelines range
resulting from an adjusted base offense level of 25 . . . .” At
sentencing, the district court determined that Lee’s adjusted
offense level was twenty-five and departed downward to criminal
history category I, which yielded an advisory guideline range of
57-71 months. Our review of the record discloses that Lee was
advised about the waiver at the guilty plea hearing, and that the
appeal waiver was knowing and voluntary. See United States v.
Brown, 232 F.3d 399, 402 (4th Cir. 2000).
We therefore dismiss the appeal. 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
