    ANDRE MIKE BERRY,

                Defendant!Appellant.


                            ORDER AND JUDGMENT *


Before HARTZ, TYMKOVICH, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.



         Andre Mike Berry pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to

distribute crack cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and two counts of

being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). His

plea agreement included a waiver of his right to appeal, collaterally challenge, or

in any way seek to modify his sentence, so long as his sentence was within or



*
      This panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not
materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2);
10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral
argument. This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited,
however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and
10th Cir. R. 32.1.
below the sentencing guideline range determined by the district court to be

applicable. The court determined that the applicable range was 70 to 87 months

in prison and sentenced Mr. Berry to 70 months. Despite his appeal waiver,

Mr. Berry has appealed seeking to challenge his sentence. The government has

moved to enforce the plea agreement’s appeal waiver based on our decision in

United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam).

We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.

      In determining whether an appeal should be dismissed based on an appeal

waiver, Hahn sets forth three factors we must consider: “(1) whether the disputed

appeal fails within the scope of the waiver of appellate rights; (2) whether the

defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights; and (3) whether

enforcing the waiver would result in a miscarriage of justice.” Id. at 1325. In his

response to the motion to enforce, Mr. Berry concedes that “he has no information

to dispute or rebut the assertions made by the government” with respect to each of

the three factors. Resp. to Mot. to Enforce at 2. 1 Upon our independent review of

the plea agreement and plea and sentencing hearing transcripts, we conclude that

       After counsel filed this response on Mr. Berry’s behalf, Mr. Berry
submitted a request to proceed pro se and a pro se response to the motion to
enforce, asserting that his appeal waiver was not entered intelligently and
voluntarily and that his counsel was ineffective. These document were not filed
because Mr. Berry is represented by counsel. We note, however, that Mr. Berry is
not precluded from asserting in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion an ineffective-
assistance-of-counsel claim concerning the negotiation of the plea agreement.
See, e.g., United States v. Porter, 405 F.3d 1136, 1144 (10th Cir. 2005).

                                         -2-
Mr. Berry cannot establish any of the three applicable exceptions to enforcement

of the appeal waiver and therefore the appeal waiver should be enforced.

      Accordingly, we GRANT the government’s motion to enforce the appeal

waiver contained in the plea agreement and DISMISS this appeal.
