ALVARO SANTOS-JUATECO, a.k.a.
Roberto Arturo Aca-Juateco,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California
Gordon Thompson, Jr., District Judge, Presiding
Submitted August 25, 2015**

being a removed alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.
We dismiss.
Santos-Juateco contends that the district court erred by applying a 16-level
sentencing enhancement, imposing a term of supervised release, and finding his
criminal history not to be over-represented. The government argues that the appeal
should be dismissed based on an appeal waiver contained in the plea agreement.
We review de novo whether to enforce an appeal waiver. See United States v.
Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 981 (9th Cir. 2009). Under the terms of the appeal waiver,
Santos-Juateco waived any right to appeal his sentence, and we therefore dismiss
this appeal. See id. at 986, 988.
DISMISSED.
