MEMORANDUM*


2
Jose Alberto Olmedo appeals his sentence for his guilty plea conviction to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846.  Olmedo contends that the district court erred in sentencing him as a career offender because his prior 1994 California marijuana conviction did not constitute a "controlled substance offense" pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1.


3
As part of his plea agreement, however, Olmedo waived his right to appeal his sentence if it was within the applicable guideline range.  Olmedo was sentenced within the applicable range.  He does not allege that the plea was not voluntary and knowing.  Accordingly, we do not consider his claim that he was improperly sentenced as a career offender, see United States v. Bolinger, 940 F.2d 478, 480 (9th Cir.1991), and we dismiss the appeal.

DISMISSED.
