United States v. Zhicheng Zeng

MEMORANDUM ** Zhicheng Zeng appeals from the six-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for making and using a writing containing a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (a)(3). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm. Zeng contends that the government breached his plea agreement when it recommended that the district court impose a six-month term of imprisonment. He contends that the government promised not to recommend a sentence that included prison time. The record belies this contention. Because the government never promised not to recommend a prison sentence, it did not breach the plea agreement. See United States v. Jeronimo, 398 F.3d 1149, 1153 (9th Cir.2005). Zeng does not dispute that the appeal waiver in the plea agreement was knowing and voluntary. Because the sentence comported with the agreement, we affirm the decision of the district court. See United States v. Bibler, 495 F.3d 621, 623-24 (9th Cir.2007). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
