Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. A-94-CR-100
----------
March 6, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and DeMOSS, Circuit Judes.
PER CURIAM:*
Patrick Zedell Clark appeals his conviction and sentence for possession of with intent to
distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a). He argues that the disparity between
the statutory penalties for offenses involving "crack" cocaine and offenses involving other types of
cocaine violates his equal protection and due process rights. Clark, however, waived the right to
appeal pursuant to a valid provision in his plea agreement. See United
States v. Melancon, 972 F.2d 566, 568 (5th Cir. 1992).
APPEAL DISMISSED.

Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
