    No. 14-41348
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    July 16, 2015.
    Baylor Glenn Wortham, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Beaumont, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    
      David Wesley Barlow, Barlow Law Firm, Beaumont, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Artemio Blanco-Gomez, FCI Bastrop, Bastrop, TX, pro se.
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Artemio Blanco-Gomez challenges his statutory maximum 120-month sentence for illegal reentry. He argues that the district court incorrectly applied U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(l). Relying on the appellate waiver in the plea agreement, the Government seeks dismissal of the appeal, summary affirmance or, alternatively, an extension of time in which to file a brief.

We review the validity of an appeal waiver de novo. United States v. Baymon, 312 F.3d 725, 727 (5th Cir.2002). The waiver provision broadly waived Blan-co-Gomez’s right to appeal his sentence. He reserved the right to appeal only a sentence in excess of the statutory maximum or to bring a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel that affected the validity of the plea or the waiver. The record of his rearraignment shows that the waiver was knowing and voluntary, as Blanco-Gomez knew he had the right to appeal and that he was giving up that right in the plea agreement. See United States v. Portillo, 18 F.3d 290, 292 (5th Cir.1994). Because the plain language of the waiver provision applies to Blanco-Gomez’s challenge to his sentence, we will enforce the waiver «and DISMISS the appeal. See United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 544, 546 (5th Cir.2005). The Government’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED, its motion for summary affirmance is DENIED, and its alternative motion for an extension of time is also DENIED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
