CRAIG MICHAEL COSCARELLI,
a/k/a John Coscarelli,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. CR-H-94-0120-1
- - - - - - - - - -
December 19, 1995
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Craig Michael Coscarelli pleaded guilty to conspiracy to
commit mail fraud, wire fraud, using a false name, and money
laundering. Coscarelli's plea agreement contained a waiver of
the right of appeal of any sentence imposed within the statutory
maximum. He was sentenced within the statutory minimum.
Coscarelli now seeks review of the district court's sentence.
The Government argues that Coscarelli waived the right to appeal.
*
Local Rule 47.5.1 provides: "The publication of
opinions that merely decide particular cases on the basis of
well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the
public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that
Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published.
No. 95-20241
-2-
Our review of the record shows that Coscarelli knowingly and
voluntarily waived his right to appeal the sentence imposed by
the district court. United States v. Melancon, 972 F.2d 566, 568
(5th Cir. 1992); United States v. Portillo, 18 F.3d 290, 293 (5th
Cir.), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 244 (1994).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
