ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before BRISCOE, LUCERO, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
Christian Hugo Contreras accepted a plea agreement and pleaded guilty to
drug and money-laundering offenses. He was sentenced to 97 months of
imprisonment, which was at the low end of the sentencing guidelines range.
Although the plea agreement contained an appeal waiver, Contreras appealed. The
government moves to enforce the appeal waiver under United States v. Hahn,
359
F.3d 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam).
Under Hahn, we consider “(1) whether the disputed appeal falls within the
scope of the waiver of appellate rights; (2) whether the defendant knowingly and

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines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

result in a miscarriage of justice.”
Id. at 1325. We need not address a Hahn factor
that the appellant does not contest. See United States v. Porter,
405 F.3d 1136, 1143
(10th Cir. 2005).
In his response to the government’s motion, Contreras, through counsel,
informs the court that he does not oppose the motion. Further, he has not contested
any of the Hahn factors. Accordingly, the motion to enforce is granted, and this
matter is terminated.
