To begin with, it is important to note that the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that a defendant may choose to waive many important constitutional and legal rights during the trial process. See United States v. Mezzanatto, 115 p. Ct. 797, 801 (1995); Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258, 267 (1973); Blackledge vs.

In accordance with this principle, the courts of appeal have upheld the general validity of a waiver of an appeal in the context of an agreement on the means. See e.B. United States v.

1995); United States v. Attar, 38 F.3d 727, 731 (4th Cir. 1994), certificate refused, 115 p. Ct. 1957 (1995); United States v. Bushert, 997 F.2d 1343, 1350 (11th Cir. 1993), cert. refused, 115 p.

The disadvantage of a limited waiver of appeal is that it does not reduce the number of criminal appeals as much as a waiver of an appeal, in which the defendant must drop the appeal on all matters relating to sentencing.
