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. Perdomo-Cabrera's 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. Perdomo-Cabrera, through

counsel, concedes his appeal waiver is enforceable under the standard set forth in

Hahn.
Outcome:
Based on this concession and our independent review of the record, we grant

the government’s motion to enforce the appeal waiver and dismiss the appeal. This

dismissal does not affect Mr. Perdomo-Cabrera’s right to pursue post-conviction

relief on the grounds permitted in his plea agreement
