MEMORANDUM

Curtis Mark Gebers, Jr., appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the $889,415.71 restitution order imposed as part of his sentence following his guilty-plea conviction for failure to appear, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 3146(a)(1). We dismiss.

Gebers contends that the district court abused its discretion when it ordered $889,415.71 in restitution without explaining adequately its reasoning and methodology. He also contends that the district court erroneously included losses that were not attributable to his conduct. Ge-bers acknowledges that he waived the right to appeal the restitution order, but he argues that the waiver was not knowing because he lacked sufficient notice of the amount of restitution to be ordered. We review de novo whether a defendant has waived his right to appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 981 (9th Cir.2009).

Contrary to Gebers’s contention, his plea agreement specified a maximum amount of restitution to be ordered, and the court imposed restitution in that amount. We accordingly dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Blitz, 151 F.3d 1002, 1006 (9th Cir.1998).

DISMISSED.
