United States v. Elliott
264 F.3d 1171 (10th Cir. 2001)
Key Principle
A defendant's knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal in a plea agreement is enforceable, and a district court's later erroneous statement at sentencing that the defendant retains a right to appeal does not modify the plea agreement or invalidate the waiver.
