PER CURIAM:

          John   Curtis   Lee    appeals   the   district   court’s   order

sentencing him to 210 months’ imprisonment following his guilty

pleas to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation

of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (2000); possession of an unregistered

explosive device and possession of an unregistered silencer, in

violation of 26 U.S.C. §§       5841, 5861, & 5871 (2000); and unlawful

manufacture of a weapon, in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 5822, 5861,

& 5871 (2000).   We affirm.

          In his appeal, filed pursuant to Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Lee claims that the Government

engaged in misconduct by failing to timely disclose prejudicial

material that enhanced Lee’s sentence.           Criminal defendants may

waive their statutory right to direct appeal as part of a plea

agreement with the government.        United States v. Marin, 961 F.2d

493, 496 (4th Cir. 1992).        Lee unambiguously waived his right to

appeal his sentence by the terms of his plea agreement with the

Government.   Accordingly, Lee’s claim relating to the calculation

of his sentence is precluded by his plea agreement.

          Pursuant to Anders, we have reviewed the record for any

error outside the scope of Lee’s waiver of appellate rights and

have found no meritorious issues.          Accordingly, we affirm Lee’s

conviction and sentence.    This court requires that counsel inform

his client, in writing, of his right to petition the Supreme Court


                                   - 2 -
of the United States for further review.    If the client requests

that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition

would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave

to withdraw from representation.   Counsel’s motion must state that

a copy thereof was served on the client.     We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.



                                                          AFFIRMED
