UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v. No. 18-1341

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
_________________________________
Before MATHESON, KELLY, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
Steven Dykes pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and
wire fraud and one count of money laundering. He was sentenced to serve 108
months in prison. Although his plea agreement contained a waiver of his appellate
rights, he filed a notice of appeal. The government has moved to enforce the appeal
waiver in the plea agreement pursuant to United States v. Hahn,
359 F.3d 1315
(10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam).
*
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines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.
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
voluntarily waived his appellate rights; and (3) whether enforcing the waiver would
result in a miscarriage of justice.”
Id. at 1325. The government asserts that all of the
Hahn conditions have been satisfied because: (1) Mr. Dykes’ appeal is within the
scope of the appeal waiver; (2) he knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate
rights; and (3) enforcing the waiver would not result in a miscarriage of justice. In
response to the government’s motion, Mr. Dykes concedes that his appeal waiver is
enforceable under the standards set forth in Hahn, and he agrees that his appeal
should be dismissed.
Accordingly, we grant the government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver
and dismiss the appeal. This dismissal does not affect Mr. Dykes’ right to pursue
post-conviction relief on the grounds permitted in his plea agreement.
