ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before LUCERO, O’BRIEN, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

	Defendant pled guilty to four counts of bank robbery and one count of carrying/brandishing a firearm.  Her plea agreement recited that she “knowingly and voluntarily waives her right” to appeal (a) “her guilty plea and any other aspect of her conviction, including but not limited to any rulings on pretrial suppression motions or any other pretrial dispositions of motions and issues,” and (b) “her sentence as imposed by the Court and the manner in which the sentence is determined, provided the sentence is within or below the advisory guideline range determined by the Court to apply to this case.”  Plea Agreement at 5 (dated Nov. 14, 2005, and filed in open court December 9, 2005).  She was sentenced to four concurrent 121‑month terms for the robberies and an 84‑month term on the firearms offense (and a 5-year term of supervised release), to run consecutively for a total of 205 months.  Defendant then filed this appeal and the government moved to enforce her appeal waiver under United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2004).  For reasons explained below, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal accordingly.  
	Hahn’s three-part test requires us to consider “(1) whether the disputed appeal falls within the scope of the waiver of appellate rights; (2) whether the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived [her] appellate rights; and (3) whether enforcing the waiver would result in a miscarriage of justice.”  Id. at 1325.  The miscarriage‑of‑justice prong is satisfied if the defendant shows that (a) her sentence relied on an impermissible factor such as race; (b) ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the negotiation of the appeal waiver rendered the waiver invalid; (c) her sentence exceeded the statutory maximum; or (d) her appeal waiver is otherwise unlawful.  Id. at 1327.  The government’s motion addresses all of these considerations, explaining why none of them undermine defendant’s appeal waiver.  We agree.  
	Application of the first part of the Hahn test is straightforward here.  On its face, defendant’s broadly framed waiver clearly encompasses the judgment and sentence from which she now seeks to appeal.  And, indeed, defendant’s counsel concedes there is nothing in the record to indicate that the subject of this appeal falls outside the scope of the waiver.  Appellant’s Response to Appellee’s Motion to Enforce Plea Agreement (Appellant’s Response), at 1.  
	Turning to the second part of the Hahn test, regarding the knowing and voluntary nature of the appeal waiver, the government contends the two primary record sources relating to the issue – the language of the plea agreement and the Rule 11 colloquy at the plea hearing, see Hahn, 359 F.3d at 1325 – do not reflect any deficiencies that would invalidate the waiver.  Having reviewed the materials, we agree with that assessment.  Moreover, defendant’s response concedes that “[n]othing in the record or outside the record indicates [that defendant] did not knowingly or voluntarily enter into the plea agreement.”  Appellant’s Response, at 2 (emphasis added).  The appeal waiver clearly satisfies the second condition for enforcement.  
	Finally, we see no basis on which to find a miscarriage of justice.  There is nothing in the record, and nothing noted by defendant outside the record, to indicate that an impermissible sentencing factor was involved, and the sentence imposed was clearly within (indeed significantly under) the statutory maximum. The government notes that defendant has never suggested counsel was ineffective in any way with respect to her plea, defendant’s counsel states that he is unaware of any allegations in this regard, and defendant has not personally supplemented counsel’s response to claim otherwise.  The only remaining basis for finding a miscarriage of justice, i.e., that the waiver is “otherwise unlawful,” requires the demonstration of an error that “seriously affect[ed] the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.”  Hahn, 359 F.3d at 1329 (citing United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732 (1993)).  No potential error of that magnitude is evident here.  The anticipated appellate issues identified by counsel in response to the government’s motion, involving generic objections to “fact finding regarding the employment of the firearm and additional allocution,” Appellant’s Response at 3, fall squarely within the scope of the issues defendant deliberately waived in exchange for the benefits of the plea agreement.  Concerns of fairness, integrity, and public reputation favor enforcement of the waiver.  

	The government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver in defendant’s plea agreement is GRANTED and the appeal is DISMISSED.  The mandate shall issue forthwith.
