MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Gonzales, 19 F.3d 30 (9th Cir. 1994):
An express waiver of the statutory right to appeal in a negotiated plea agreement is valid if made knowingly and voluntarily. United States v. Bolinger, 940 F.2d 478, 480 (9th Cir.1991). So long as the sentence imposed was in accordance with the plea agreement, the waiver is binding. Id.
