UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JAIME ROMAN,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:02-CR-3-24
--------------------
February 19, 2003
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jaime Roman appeals his guilty plea conviction for
conspiracy to commit money laundering and aiding and abetting.
Roman contends that the district court erred by ordering that his
sentence be served consecutively with an undischarged federal
sentence he was then serving under a judgment in Case No. 98-CR-

District of California. The Government contends that Roman

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
No. 02-10818

waived in his plea agreement the right to raise this issue on
appeal.
The issue Roman wishes to appeal does not fit within any of
the categories of appealable issues reserved by Roman in the plea
agreement. Roman has not challenged the validity of this waiver,
and the record reveals that he knowingly and voluntarily agreed
to this provision. See United States v. Portillo, 18 F.3d 290,
292 (5th Cir. 1994). Because this appeal is in contravention of
the waiver-of-appeal provision, it is dismissed. See United
States v. Melancon, 972 F.2d 566, 568 (5th Cir. 1992).
APPEAL DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS.
