PER CURIAM.
Roosevelt Hunter, Jr. challenges the sentence the district court1
imposed after he pleaded guilty to drug and firearms offenses. The
government argues the appeal should be dismissed because Hunter agreed in
the plea agreement to waive his right to appeal. We agree. We have held
that a promise made in a plea agreement is binding on a defendant and may
be specifically enforced by the government. See United States v. His Law,
85 F.3d
1
The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, Chief Judge, United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota.
379, 379 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). We therefore specifically enforce
Hunter’s promise against him by dismissing his appeal.
