US v. Cole, No. 06-2547

Appeal of a sentence imposed by the district court for defendant's drug possession is dismissed where the district court did not nullify defendant's plea agreement when it rejected the drug-quantity stipulations in the agreement and independently quantified the amount of drugs attributable to defendant based on information in the presentence report, and thus the appeal waiver in the plea agreement is enforceable.
