UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

MARTIN ARANDA-BRIONES,

Defendant-Appellant.

No. 05-2294

(D.C. No. CR-05-458 MCA)

(D. N.M.)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before HENRY, EBEL, and BRISCOE, Circuit Judges.

Defendant Martin Aranda-Briones pled guilty to illegally reentering the country following removal after conviction of an aggravated felony, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2). His plea agreement states that he "knowingly waives the right to appeal any sentence within the statutory range applicable to the statute(s) of conviction." Plea Agreement at 5 (dated Mar. 21, 2005). The district court imposed a sentence of forty-six months, well within the twenty-year maximum specified in § 1326(b)(2). The court also imposed a two-year term of supervised release, again within the statutory maximum term of three years. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3559(a)(3), 3583(b)(2). Contemplating defendant's removal after his release from confinement, the court did not designate standard conditions of supervised release but did specify as a special condition that the defendant not reenter the United States without legal authorization.

Defendant appealed and, in his opening brief, raised one issue: "Was the imposition of a term of 'unsupervised supervised release' unreasonable?" Aplt. Opening Br. at 1. The government moved to enforce the appeal waiver in defendant's plea agreement under United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc). Defendant, through counsel, has responded and "concedes that the motion is enforceable." Aplt. Resp. to Mot. to Enforce Plea Agreement at 1.

Accordingly, we GRANT the government's motion and DISMISS the appeal. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
