                            ORDER AND JUDGMENT *


Before TACHA, KELLY, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.



         Defendant Lepoleon Redmond, Jr., pleaded guilty, pursuant to a plea

agreement, to using a communication facility in committing, causing and

facilitating the distribution of cocaine. He was sentenced to 188 months’

imprisonment, at the low end of the advisory guideline range determined by the

district court. In his plea agreement, Mr. Redmond “knowingly and voluntarily



*
      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 This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the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.
waive[d] any right to appeal or collaterally attack any matter in connection with

[his] prosecution, . . . conviction, or the components of the sentence imposed,” if

the sentence was “within the guideline range determined appropriate by the

court.” Mot. to Enforce, attached Plea Agreement at 10.

      Not withstanding his appeal waiver, Mr. Redmond filed a notice of appeal

seeking to challenge his sentence. In response, the government has filed a motion

to enforce the appeal waiver in the plea agreement pursuant to United States v.

Hahn, 

(10th Cir. 2004) (en banc) (per curiam). Mr. Redmond’s

attorney filed a response stating his belief that there are no meritorious grounds

upon which Mr. Redmond can appeal his sentence or urge denial of the

government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver, and that it was his intention to

file an Anders brief in this matter. See Anders v. California, 

, 744

(1967) (authorizing counsel to request permission to withdraw where counsel

conscientiously examines a case and determines that an appeal would be wholly

frivolous). This court gave Mr. Redmond an opportunity to file a pro se response

to the motion to enforce, see 

him an extension of time to reply by

June 15, 2010, but to date, he has not responded.

      Under Anders, we have conducted an independent review and examination

of the motion to enforce. See 

will enforce a criminal defendant’s

waiver of his right to appeal so long as the following three conditions are met:

(1) “the disputed appeal falls within the scope of the waiver of appellate rights,”

                                         -2-
(2) the defendant’s waiver of his appellate rights was knowing and voluntary, and

(3) enforcing the waiver will not result in a miscarriage of justice. 

. We have reviewed the plea agreement, the transcripts of the

plea and sentencing hearings, and the response from Mr. Redmond’s counsel, and

we conclude that the Hahn factors have been satisfied.

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

waiver in the plea agreement, and DISMISS the appeal.
