    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Brandon David SATTLER, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 04-11511.
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided June 20, 2006.
    Charles William Brown, U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Bruce Edward Anton, Sorrels & Udashen, Dallas, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before STEWART, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Brandon David Sattler appeals his sentence following his guilty plea conviction for bank fraud and aiding and abetting. Sattler argues that: (1) the district court violated the Ex Post Facto Clause because it sentenced him using the 2001 United States Sentencing Guidelines; (2) his sentence was improper under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005); and (3) the district court erred in making his sentence consecutive to his sentence in an unrelated state case. However, Sattler knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights, the Government moves to dismiss the appeal on the basis of the waiver, and the plain language of the waiver bars this appeal. See United States v. Story, 439 F.3d 226, 230-31 (5th Cir.2006); United States v. Bond, 414 F.3d 542, 546 (5th Cir.2005); United States v. McKinney, 406 F.3d 744, 746 (5th Cir.2005).

Sattler’s argument that the waiver does not bind him because it was perfected prior to the release of Booker is unavailing. See United States v. Burns, 433 F.3d 442, 450-51 (5th Cir.2005). Sattler’s argument that the waiver does not bar his appeal because his sentence exceeds the statutory maximum sentence is foreclosed by United States v. Cortez, 413 F.3d 502, 503 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 126 S.Ct. 502, 163 L.Ed.2d 365 (2005). Sattler has not shown that the district court made any arithmetic errors in the process of applying the Guidelines. Sattler’s argument that he did not waive the right to appointed counsel on direct appeal does not alter the validity or enforceability of the waiver.

MOTION DENIED; AEFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
