UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
_________________________________
Before TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge, HARTZ and McHUGH, Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
Kevin Washington pleaded guilty to one count of attempted possession of,
with intent to distribute, 500 grams or more of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.
§§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), and 846. In his plea agreement, the parties agreed to
recommend a sentence of 60 months’ imprisonment (the statutory mandatory
minimum, which turned out to be less than the Guidelines range of 84 to 105
months). Mr. Washington also agreed to waive his right to appeal. Nevertheless,
after the district court accepted the recommendation and sentenced him to 60 months’

This panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not
materially assist in 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This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law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.
imprisonment, he appealed. The government has moved to enforce the appeal waiver
under United States v. Hahn,
359 F.3d 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004) (en banc)
(per curiam).
Hahn sets forth three factors to evaluate an appeal waiver: “(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. In
response to the government’s motion, Mr. Washington, through counsel, conceded
the motion by withdrawing his previously expressed opposition and failing to dispute
any of the Hahn factors.
We need not address a Hahn factor that the defendant does not dispute.
See United States v. Porter,
405 F.3d 1136, 1143 (10th Cir. 2005). In light of
Mr. Washington’s concession, the motion to enforce is granted and this appeal is
dismissed.
