district court’s classification of his most serious violation as a Grade A violation.
Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
During the revocation hearing, the parties jointly recommended a revocation
sentence of 21 months in prison, Meyer confirmed his agreement to that sentence, and
the district court adopted the recommendation and imposed the recommended
sentence. This court therefore concludes that any direct challenge to the sentence is
foreclosed. See United States v. Nguyen, 46 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1995) (“A
defendant who explicitly and voluntarily exposes himself to a specific sentence may
not challenge that punishment on appeal.”)
The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
