1Opinion of the Court

MURPHY, Circuit Judge.

Louis “Boy” Winters, Jr., was charged in separate indictments with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He pled guilty to both charges under plea agreements in which he waived most of his rights to appeal. Winters was sentenced to 262 months on the conspiracy count and 51 months on the firearm count, to be served consecutively. Winters appeals, arguing that the district court 1 erred in its application of the sentencing guidelines and abused its discretion by imposing consecutive sentences. We affirm.
