PER CURIAM
       Virgil D. Case was convicted of possession of a controlled substance. Idaho Code § 37-
2732(c)(1). The district court sentenced Case to a unified term of five years, with a minimum
period of confinement of one and one-half years. Case appeals asserting that the district court
abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence. The State contends that Case waived
his right to appeal as a term of the plea agreement. The record reflects that Case did, in fact,
waive his right to appeal and Case makes no contention that his waiver was not voluntary,
knowing or intelligently made. The record includes no evidence that Case did not understand the
waiver of his appellate rights when he pleaded guilty. It is clear that Idaho law permits the
waiver of the right to appeal as a term of a plea bargain. Idaho Criminal Rule 11(d)(1); State v.
Murphy, 125 Idaho 456, 457, 872 P.2d 719, 720 (1994). Therefore, this appeal is dismissed.
