Appeal from the United States District Court

August 15, 1997
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael J. Douglass appeals his guilty-plea conviction for
selling false obligations in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 473.
Douglass argues that the Government breached the plea agreement
because it had no intention to stand by or support its U.S.S.G.
§ 5K1.1 motion, that the district court erred in allowing the
testimony of a victim, and that the district court erred in its
computation of losses.
Pursuant to his plea agreement with the Government, Douglass
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

waived his right to appeal his sentence except as to a sentence
imposed outside applicable range. The sentence he received fell
within that range. We have reviewed the record and conclude that
the waiver was informed and voluntary and is therefore binding on
Douglass. See United States v. Melancon, 972 F.2d 566, 567-68
(5th Cir. 1992).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
