United States v. Eswin Cifuentes-Lopez

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION OCT 22 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 12-50359 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 3:11-cr-04336-BEN v. MEMORANDUM* ESWIN CIFUENTES-LOPEZ, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Roger T. Benitez, District Judge, Presiding Submitted September 16, 2013** Before: HUG, FARRIS, and CANBY, Circuit Judges. Eswin Cifuentes-Lopez appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the 57-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for attempted entry after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We dismiss. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Cifuentes-Lopez contends that the district court failed to give meaningful consideration to all of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and to his arguments for a variance from the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range. He further contends that the court gave too much weight to his criminal history and “violent nature” and that the resulting sentence is substantively unreasonable. The government submits that the appeal is barred by the waiver in the parties’ plea agreement. We review de novo and conclude that the waiver is valid and binding and bars the appeal. See United States v. Bibler, 495 F.3d 621, 623-24 (9th Cir. 2007). DISMISSED. 2 12-50359
