UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
DEBRA RENEE RATLIFF,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 7:08-CR-123-2
Before DAVIS, SMITH, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Debra Renee Ratliff appeals her sentence following her guilty plea

Pursuant to 5 TH C IR. 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 08-51257
the rearraignment transcript shows that her waiver of appeal was knowing and
voluntary, the instant appeal is barred. See United States v. McKinney, 406 F.3d
744, 746-47 (5th Cir. 2005); United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 544 (5th Cir.
2005). The judgment of the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
