Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Idaho B. Lynn Winmill, Chief Judge, Presiding Submitted April 20, 2011 ** Before: RYMER, THOMAS, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges. Rogelio Medina Diaz-Barriga appeals from the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. 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). We dismiss the appeal based on the valid and enforceable appeal waiver, which encompasses Diaz-Barriga’s right to appeal on the grounds raised, and which was knowingly and voluntarily made. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 985-88 (9th Cir. 2009); United States v. VanDoren, 182 F.3d 1077, 1081 (9th Cir. 1999) (district court satisfied requirements under Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 regarding mandatory minimum penalty). Contrary to Diaz-Barriga’s assertion, the government did not waive the appeal waiver. DISMISSED. 2 09-30343
