FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff!Appellee,
v. No. 09-2204
(D.C. No. 1:09-CR-01226-JB-1)
SERVANDO GRAJEDA!OLIVAS, (D. N.M.)
Defendant!Appellant.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before KELLY, BRISCOE, and O’BRIEN, Circuit Judges.
This matter is before the court on the government’s motion to enforce the
appeal waiver contained in defendant’s plea agreement. The motion is filed
pursuant to United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc). In
response, defendant’s counsel prepared the equivalent of an Anders brief, see
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), reciting the facts and identifying

This panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not
materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2);
10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral
argument. This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited,
however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and
10th Cir. R. 32.1.
possible arguments suggesting this appeal is not subject to the defendant’s appeal
waiver, none of which have merit. Counsel then conceded that the government’s
motion is well taken because the appeal falls within the scope of the appeal
waiver, defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights, and
enforcing the waiver would not result in a miscarriage of justice. 1 See id. at 1325.
As part of his plea agreement defendant was accorded fast track status.
Accordingly, the government’s motion is GRANTED, and the appeal is
DISMISSED.
