SUMMARY ORDER

At a stated term of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, held at the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, in the City of New York, on the 6th day of December, two thousand twenty four.

Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York (Geraci, J.).

For Appellee: Katherine A. Gregory, Assistant United States Attorney, for Trini E. Ross, United States Attorney for the Western District of New York, Buffalo, New York.

For Defendant-Appellant: David R. Morabito, Law Office of David R. Morabito, East Rochester, New York.

PRESENT: José A. Cabranes, Richard C. Wesley, Steven J. Menashi, Circuit Judges.

Upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the appeal is DISMISSED.

Defendant Shatiara Williams appeals from the judgment of December 19, 2023, sentencing her to twenty-seven months in prison. Williams pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 and 846. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, procedural history, and issues on appeal.

Williams argues that the government breached her plea agreement and that the district court inaccurately calculated her guidelines range. Having reviewed the record and arguments on appeal, we hold that the government did not breach the plea agreement. As a result, the appellate waiver in the agreement bars her remaining challenge to the sentence of the district court.

For the foregoing reasons, we DISMISS this appeal.
