deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Rojas-Perez contends that the appeal waiver in his plea agreement does not

preclude this appeal because his sentence is not consistent with his plea agreement.

Because the record belies this contention, we enforce the valid appeal waiver. See

United States v. Bibler, 495 F.3d 621, 624 (9th Cir. 2007); see also United States v.

Schuman, 127 F.3d 815, 817 (9th Cir. 1997) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
