Filed December 6, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George S. Leone (Argued), Office of United States Attorney, Newark, NJ, Attorney for Appellee.

Before: SCIRICA, RENDELL and ROSENN, Circuit Judges.

OPINION OF THE COURT

SCIRICA, Circuit Judge.

This case addresses the validity of a "waiver of appeal" provision in a guilty-plea agreement, an issue of first impression in our court. Ten other Courts of Appeals have held that such waivers are generally valid. We hold that waivers of appeals are generally permissible if entered into knowingly and voluntarily, unless they work a miscarriage of justice.
